How is this different to Llama from Meta?

Exactly. Meta specifically opened their models to "commoditise their complement" [1]. Does it automatically become a national issue When a Chinese company does the same?

The models are open because if the enemy uses them they will be lagging behind. Seems like this tactic didn't work with the chinese.

Technically the llama licensing is closed to their main competitors, although it's a short list of companies like google and microsoft.
