Yes, it's pretty disappointing for a seemingly big improvement over SOTA to be commercially licensed compared the previous version.. At least in the press release they're not portraying it as open source just because it's on GitHub/HuggingFace.

The new Facebook AI Czar wang hinted on previous interviews that Meta might change their stand on licensing/open source.

Seems like the tides are shifting at meta

This has nothing to do with the newly appointed fellow nor Meta Superintelligence Labs, but rather work from FAIR that would have gone through a lengthy review process before seeing the light of day. Not fun to see the license change in any case

[tough]

afaik now FAIR lives under the MSL umbrella https://x.com/AndrewCurran_/status/1940109829781270799

Yeah the org structure is one thing, the missions are another. Yann adds some clarity here

I remember DINOv2 was originally a commercial licence. I (along with others) just asked if they could change it on a GitHub issue, and after some time, they did. Might be worth asking

Seems like it was originally CC-BY-NC.
