  Again, you missed the point. LLaMA is under a non commercial license. I never stated it is illegal, just that a company will not want to violate license terms even if it is legal, simply because getting sued in a civil case is still a risk they wouldn't be willing to take compared to the benefit.

    But I'm not licensing LLaMA from facebook in the first place so their terms wouldn't apply.

      Of course they would apply, if you're using LLaMA at all. If you're using a different model that derives from LLaMA, depending on the license terms, the same license might also apply (similar to how GPL virality works). If you're using a wholly different model, then the model's license applies instead of LLaMA's.

        And I'm saying you're wrong, they don't and I'm willing to bet that the courts will agree :)

          > No, they wouldn't. You clearly don't understand how this works. Interesting way to continue the conversation, before you edited. I honestly don't understand how you think using LLaMA but denying their license terms is a viable strategy, the courts would just point to the license when Meta sues you for using it commercially. But I'm sure me continuing to explain wouldn't make you understand further.
