- Meta's LLaMa license does not meet the Open Source Definition despite being labeled as 'Open Source'.
- The Llama 3.x Community Licence fails to grant basic freedoms, including usage for any purpose, non-discrimination, and unrestricted fields of endeavor.
- Newer versions of Meta’s Llama license impose additional restrictions, such as excluding users in the European Union without explanation.
- Critics of the Open Source AI Definition are accused of supporting Meta’s misleading use of the term 'Open Source'.
- The Open Source Initiative (OSI) calls for community unity to oppose Meta’s 'open washing' and continues efforts to educate and advocate for true open-source principles.
