Although Meta has announced that it will open-source its LLM and allow free usage for commercial and research purposes, a closer examination of its community license agreement reveals a different story.

According to Meta's commercial terms, companies with 700 million or more monthly active users (MAU) are required to obtain a license from Meta. This means that Meta's new AI technology is off-limits to some of its social media competitors.

Additionally, another clause in the commercial terms of Llama 2 states that users are prohibited from utilising it to enhance or improve other large language models, aside from Llama 2 itself.

The first point makes sense. I’m just some dude goofing around with it, so it doesn’t affect me.

Not sure what I think about Llama2 being disallowed from improving other language models, though.
