I don't disagree but even Linux has "Terms and conditions" of usage under it's license you really need to dig into what those are.

There's no doubt Gemma's license is less permissive than other models and that it has less community finetuners for that reason.




According to the OSI's open source definition, you can't put restrictions against persons or groups or fields of use. In the license, Linux is not restricted in what domain it will be used (good or bad).

Here's OSI's argument about this when Meta's llama put such limitations in their license: https://opensource.org/blog/metas-llama-2-license-is-not-ope...


can you link to Linux terms and conditions? search returned nothing.


I guess my comment was a bit wrong, Linux has "TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION" not usage.
