This is from 16 November:https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_23_5739 "The winners are expected to release the developed models under an open-source license for non-commercial use."

@modulux this might need some more digging. https://aiboost-project.eu/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/AI-BOOST-_Guidelines-for-Applicants.pdf

@EC_OSPO "or through publishing their research findings" so it's just going to be yet another deluge of incomplete whitepapers with missing details and completely random looking graphs, and no models.

@moduluxThe term "open source" is often misunderstood. Open source may be libre software, a license similar to GPL or Apache or another. But it may as well be open source in the sense of viewable source code and limited rights to re-use.@EC_OSPO

@amarok @modulux @EC_OSPO No, the latter is not Open Source. https://opensource.org/osd/

@marcel_kolajaIf we are talking about such a specific "open source" license model, then yes, point 6 "The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor." - however this is the OpenSource Initiative, not to be confused with open source in general. I can distribute my own open source software and explicitly disallow commercial use.@modulux @EC_OSPO

@amarok There is no legal definition of open source software. The whole point of the OSI is to define "open-source."You may keep redefining freedom and openness till it is completely diluted out of meaning, but in the meanwhile "free software" refers to FSF's definition and "open-source" refers to OSI's definition for everyone online, and for good reasons.

@unexpectedteapot @amarok There are actually multiple legal definitions of Open Source Software :-) Nevertheless, if we’re not speaking in a context of a particular law, Open Source Software is indeed generally understood as software meeting the OSI definition, as OSI is the organization that defined the term in first place.

@marcel_kolaja I wasn't aware that a particular definition of open source software was enshrined into any national (or EU) law. Can you please link it? I tried to look it up, but mostly came up with legal guides referring to the terms of licences and/or OSI's definition.
