    This sounds like some weirdly petty political wrangling that would delight any full-blooded bureaucrat.

    The desire to make demands about training data is weird. Open source has never included a requirement to provide documentation of any kind. If there was some requirement for documentation, few would care and most just do their thing anyway. FOSS licenses facilitate sharing by giving people an easy way to make their code legally usable by others.

    There’s nothing that quite matches source code + compiled binary. There are permissively licensed datasets and models. I’ll call either open source. Neither is equivalent to source code but either can be a source.
