Open source AI
An AI system released with its weights, its code and enough detail about its training data that anyone can use, study, change and share it for any purpose.
The Open Source Initiative says: "An Open Source AI is an AI system made available under terms and in a way that grant the freedoms to: Use the system for any purpose and without having to ask for permission. Study how the system works and inspect its components. Modify the system for any purpose, including to change its output. Share the system for others to use with or without modifications, for any purpose." Many models sold as open source are really open weights under a restrictive license, and don't meet this test.
