Those are perfectly consistent, despite what ideologically-driven people may want to believe.

Copyright is literally the right to copy. Arbitrary Internet data that is not copied does not have any copyright implications.

The difference is that LLaMa imposes additional contractual obligations that, for ideological reasons (Freedom #0), open source software does not.

This issue reminds me of the FSF/AGPL situation. At some point you just have to accept that copyright law, in and of itself, is not sufficient to control what people do with your software. If you want to do that, you have to limit end-user freedom with an EULA.

If someone uses LLaMa output to train models, it is unlikely they will be sued for copyright infringement. It is far more likely they will be sued for breach of contract.
