You need to do more than include a link to the license to comply. You need to include the entire source code needed to compile the derived system.

For an LLM that would include:

1. Training data

2. Training code and metrics

3. Hyperparameter settings

4. Output weights

Anything less is really just misinterpretation of the nature of open source's provision for studying, modifying, and recompiling the LLM

Tldr; these companies MUST make the LLM into AGPL and provide all necessary codes as described above. Companies that refuse this will be raided by open source copyright trolls, if we're lucky and a little mischievous.
