Meta switches Muse Glimmer to Apache 2.0 license after scrutiny

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Meta has updated the licensing for its Muse Glimmer model, switching from the "Llama Community License Agreement" to the OSI-approved Apache Software License 2.0. This change follows scrutiny over Meta's previous license, which was seen as not fully adhering to the Open Source Definition. The Muse Glimmer 30B model, released last week, now uses the standard ASL v.2.0, though it still includes a USAGE_POLICY that Meta hopes users will follow. AI

IMPACT This licensing change may encourage broader adoption of Meta's models by clarifying their open-source status.

RANK_REASON This is a change in licensing for an existing model, not a new frontier release or significant industry event.
