As noted last evening I am running the open source (but NOT GPL) Llama 2 AI on a Raspberry PI 5.
As discussed at the meeting Tuesday night, Llama 2 is not Open Source. It conforms to neither the OSI Open Source Definition nor the FSF Four Freedoms. This post from IBM explains how and why it's not: https://www.ibm.com/topics/llama-2#Is+Llama+2+open+source?
While the license is broadly open, it's not open source or free software in much the same way as the Creative Commons "NC" license is not; it restricts use and requires certain entities to get a paid license.
Okay, so obvious next question, what fully open alternatives are currently available for Llama 2 and if there are none what can we do to help create such an alternative? Colin.
