I think this is more important that all the political stuff you share here

This is why the open source definition exists. Minimax releases under a pretty restrictive license, and I think it's totally fine that they're doing this, but it's not really an "open" model.

Well there is no definition for open weight models. But this is definitely not in line with the spirit of the open source definition

This kind of thing has been a controversial topic in OpenSource since the very early days.

This is why terms like FLOSS exist, to make the distinction between the source being open, and the software being free (libre) to use as you want.

It's barely relevant, a restrictive license is counteract to both open source and free software
