    @dandi8 the license of Adobe Photoshop is not open-source because it specifically restricts reverse-engineering and modifications, and a lot of other things. The license of Mistral Nemo IS open-source, because it’s Apache2.0, you are free to use it, study it, redistribute it, … open-source doesn’t say anything about giving you all the tools to re-create it, because that would mean they would need to give you the GPU time. “Open-source” simply means something else than what you think.

      You seem to think that “open source” is just about the license and that a project is open source if you’re allowed to reverse engineer it.

      You have a gross misunderstanding of what OSS is, which contradicts even the Wikipedia definition, and are unwilling to educate yourself about it.

      You suggest that Mistral would need to lend us their GPUs to fit the widely accepted definition of OSS, which is untrue.

      You’re either not a software engineer, or you have an agenda.

      Because of this, I will not be continuing this conversation with you, as at this point it is just a waste of my time.
