> The reason why llama is open source

Llama has never been open source. It's source-available, but still proprietary, under terms that (among other things) say "no competing with us, you have to buy a license for that".

If you read the license, you'd realize that Llama has restrictions incompatible with the definition of Open Source.

There is no source available. Its just open weights.
"open source" doesn't even make much sense for a model. But llama isn't even fully open weights due to the restrictions on its use.
