License

Hi,
Thanks for releasing Llama 4! I noticed that this model was marked as "open source" and "open weight," however it is licensed under a restrictive/non-open-source license.
Would it be possible to switch to an open source license?
Thanks!

Yeah, this is NOT "Open Source."

This is really strange, as Mark Zukerberg himself announced before the release that the Llama 4 models will be open source, they were supposed to be released under MIT license and not the llama4 license. Not sure if this was by accident or on purpose.

This model is open-weights. This model is NOT open-source.

He clearly stated here in his video post that both the Scout and the Maverick are OPEN-SOURCE models:

Could be he chose his words carefully. He says that it is their goal, but he didn't say the model currently is, right?

he mentioned clearly that "with Llama 4
this is starting to happen." May be @pcuenq accidentally attached the wrong license.

I don't think that the license metadata is wrong... See this page on the llama.com website

please change the license to a more permissive or protective one (GPL, BSD, Apache or MIT)
