Yet again the word "open source" is being used in a way that doesn't make any sense. We're going to wind up with a weird situation where "open source" means "free and open source" for software specifically but just means "available free-of-charge" for data and ML model weights. Which is strange. The word "free" is right there. This is not "source code", and it certainly isn't "open source" even if it was.

I know this is a tangent, but unfortunately it bears repeating.
