No, the same way training is not a build dependency for the weights source code. You can literally compile and run them without any training data.

Training data is a build dependency for the weights. You cannot realistically get the same weights without the same training data.

Developer's mindset, knowledge and tooling is also a build dependency for any open source code. You can not realistically get the same code without it.

You mean the same source code? Because... I agree. That's why it's important for the source to be open. Both in the context of software and language models.
