Quite frankly whilst I have no love for Meta, if they are willing to spend stupendous amounts of money to open source their AI models, yet prevent use of this by companies who reach 700 million MAUs from benefiting from this investment, then they’re doing a service to the community and ultimately finding a way to commercialise their investment. Tldr; they’ve invested a lot of money and time to help the community benefit from AI. If you then go onto build a billion dollar business servicing near one a billion users, then they expect a thank you in currency. How is that not reasonable?

It may very well be reasonable, but it's not "open source".
