> i absolutely condemn them and others (e.g Facebook) for their deliberate and continued misuse of the term

This is the kind of inconsequential nitpicking diatribe I'm referring to. When has "open data" ever meant Open Source?

> They deliberately chose to misuse a well established term instead.

Their model weights as well as their repositories containing their technical papers and any source code are published under an OSS MIT license, which is the reason why initiatives like this looking to reproduce R1 are even possible.

But no, we have to waste space in every open model release complaining that they must be condemned for continuing to use the same label the rest of the industry uses to describe their open models which are released under an OSS License as Open Source - instead of using whatever preferred unused label you want them to use.




We're talking past each other at this point. I believe both our positions have been adequately presented. Cheers.
