I'm reserving that complaint for "open source" models which are released under non-open-source licenses.

I care that I know what I can DO with the project when I see it described as "open source".

Yes, the first of which is that you should be able to build it from source. Which requires the source code, and in this case data.

That would be “permissive license”

Maybe we should have a little cue card for models: vendor/name, size, open weights, open source, permissive license.

It’s simple enough an idea.
