It’d just be better if it was around RWKV or something that doesn’t prevent you from improving any models outside of the llama ecosystem.
It’s a great embrace, extend, extinguish play by meta.

Meta released Pytorch, Pytext and even built ONNX with Microsoft to avoid an EEE situation. What more could you possibly want?
No. A good parallel would be if Microsoft (say) wrote their own linux clone that was compatible but had some proprietary enhancements that made it desirable over open source distros. The only catch being, it wasn't gpl licensed (they wrote it from scratch) it had a proprietary MS license that says you can only use it for things MS approved of, and are using it at their pleasure, to be revoked at any time.
People don't care about the license, they call it open source and move away from gnu/linux to the proprietary MS version, and now we're only doing what they allow us to.
That's exactly what's happening in the ML model world right now, but people are happy with the shiny models Facebook lets them use so they say "what's the big deal".
