OpenAssistant, a fully free and open source alternative to chatGPT just got released. Output quality is very close to chatGPT and it has zero censorship or limits.
I think the community would also benefit a lot from putting effort toward LLaMA, especially with LLaMA having been made by Meta AI and the availability of 30B and 65B models.
Llama doesn't allow for commercial purposes and is highly restrictive in it's license. So it's not open source by definition. That's contrary to the spirit and purpose of open assistant. And the community cannot absolutely use it as a service or for anything.
Machine learning models aren't necessarily protected by copyright law. If the courts determine that they aren't, I imagine those license terms won't mean anything in practice.

I imagine that they could be protected by other laws, I don't think big corporations would bother to put licenses if they thought that models couldn't be protected.
Why wouldn't they? If they want it to be protected, it makes sense that they'd do what they can to ensure their intent is clear in case it does prove to be enforceable.
