They get a pass because we know what these companies train on (proprietary or private data) but they can't admit it, but they're still giving away multi million dollar models for free.

Yes, it'd be nice if it was open and reproducible from start to finish. But let's not let perfect be the enemy of good.

"Let's not let companies exploit well-known definitions for their own gain" is what I'm going for, regardless if we personally gain from it or not.

I still don't understand why they have to mix definitions to confuse developers, and we on top of that apparently have to give up on the true meaning of FOSS. What's so hard about using the term "open weights" or some new term instead of trying to reuse FOSS terms they don't abide to?
