Why do you think it is not open source? The model weights, model architecture, and dataset are all available.

Read the license of the model: https://github.com/Stability-AI/stablediffusion/blob/main/LI...

5. and 7. make it not open source

I don't see how it contradicts the open source definition at https://opensource.org/osd, could you point it out for me?

For the most blatant violation, look at point 6 of the OSD and attachment A of the license.

Seems like it is open source, just not free software.

It's not free software or open source. Check the Open Source Definition: https://opensource.org/osd

Open source is more than just everything being available. It also depends on the license, and the one Stable Diffusion uses doesn't qualify, for multiple reasons, including the one mentioned upthread.
