'Open weight' is roughly analogous to 'freeware' - software that's free to use, but closed source. We haven't seen a third category - 'paid weight' - software where you pay for the weights, but you keep them and have to run them on your own machines - analogously, updates could so if you don't want your LLMs cutoff to stay at a point forever, you have to keep buying new weights. These are standard practices in software pricing.
