The open-source world has been struggling for a few years now to understand
how to approach large language models (LLMs) and the licensing applied to
them. What constitutes "freedom" with respect to a black box filled with numerical weights? The process taken by the Open Source Initiative (OSI)
in the development of its Open Source AI
Definition was controversial at best, as was its output. Now, the
Linux Foundation's Mike Dolan has brought
a new license to the OSI for approval. It is called the OpenMDW ("Open
Model, Data, and Weights"), and it aims to clarify licensing for the distribution of LLMs and related materials, but consensus is proving hard
to find for this license as well.
