Why are you being so obtuse? No, devs don't have to include the source to vim in their repos. They have to include the source files for their product in their repos. I'm confident this just isn't that hard to understand.
These are the source files! I’m going to stop responding to monocasa because I think he is being obtuse and leading me to say things that you are misinterpreting.
There is no expectation to include vim, or any tools required to create a codebase. We agree. And that’s why this repo is sufficient. Asking for the tooling that was used to make this project would be out of scope and unreasonable.
This is a repo that can be used to make predictions. It is not a repo that is used to make models.
The source code of the repo referred to by “open source” is the code of the repo.
You can ask all you want but that is irrelevant as to whether it is open source. If photoshop were open source, the c++ code would need to be available. Not the tooling used to make the c++ code. The c++ code is equivalent to the model. Not the separate pythoj codebase that was involved in making it.
Which is some BSD PyTorch + PyTorch calling code that anyone competent in the field can implement any number of ways and is not special to this output.

There's a pretty good definition of open source at OSI [0], point of 2 of which is (emphasis mine):
"The program must include source code, and must allow distribution in source code as well as compiled form. Where some form of a product is not distributed with source code, there must be a well-publicized means of obtaining the source code for no more than a reasonable reproduction cost, preferably downloading via the Internet without charge. The source code must be the preferred form in which a programmer would modify the program. Deliberately obfuscated source code is not allowed. Intermediate forms such as the output of a preprocessor or translator are not allowed."
You can't bump the window on what "program" means. "Program" here doesn't mean "predictions", that's the output of the program. If you had a program that generated images, you wouldn't say that that program was the source code of the images. You would say that that program generates images and has source code.
This just isn't an open source release. It's freely released to the public, but it doesn't contain the source used to create or modify it.

My dude… you have no idea what you’re talking about.
The picked model is the preferred way to interact and modify it. It is the source code. It is not like a compiled program. It is literally code.
I am NOT claiming the predictions are the program. I am saying the pickled model is. You 100% don’t need anything else to do anything more with the model.
I don’t know or care if they released their model generating code but nobody competent who understands what they are talking about cares about this.
It’s pickled because it’s big. Just imagine this as a zip containing algo.py
