There is a podcast episode of Lex Fridman talking with Mark Zuckerberg, and in this episode Mark states that the reason Llama is (and will stay) open source is that that is the deal that Meta has with the engineers.

To get top engineers, there had to be some agreement, and this agreement apparently is that the engineers want their work open sourced.

Pretty cool, IMHO.

When Llama first released in Feb Yann tweeted that they were committed to releasing all models under GPL, and yet that’s not the license we all got. There’s been a move to more permissive licensing since. So it’s been a bit of a tug of war still.
