This isn't MIT vs GPL. It's literally one of those few corporations that's in a position to monopolize AI calling a license that says "you can use this at our pleasure" open source. Any open source movement definitively cannot include such licenses. If this was a split over a smaller thing I'd get your point.

Which clause are you calling "you can use this at our pleasure"? The license is short and there is no such thing. The most restrictive item is whether you had 750M active users in the month before it was released. [1]

I'm curious what you are drawing issue with, but it's also under the bridge. Any sane reading of this license and the release shows that you have WAY more rights compared to GPT-4 or other fully closed releases. The availability of these weights and code are propping up an open source community around LLMs, which lends oxygen to other even-more-open endeavors.

I would assume they are referring to this: https://ai.meta.com/llama/use-policy/
