Good that we have the arbitrator of what "real open source" is and isn't over here.

“Open source” is indeed an objective standard with actual criteria, and not just vibes.

Luckily, it seems previous Qwen models did get open-sourced in the actual sense, so this one probably will be, too.

Its one NGO trying to dictate what "open source" is and btw. according to that definition, Qwen isn't open source.

If you're referring to the OSI, they're the ones who invented the term “open source” in the first place, and are authoritative on what counts as “open source” and what doesn't.

Well yes, the lack of open-sourcing being the context of this thread :)
