I think there's a misunderstanding here (and on Alpaca) about exactly what non-commercial means with respect to software licenses. Here's some related discussion: https://opensource.stackexchange.com/a/12074 https://opensource.stackexchange.com/a/12074
The CC-NC licenses cover modification and redistribution ("use" in the license). They apparently have no bearing on whether you can personally run the software. And of course the outputs of the software are not copyrightable.

- ericpauley 4y agoI’m aware. The next section of the readme talks about how the fine tuned models are dictated by Alpaca’s license. I am arguing this is not the case.
- MacsHeadroom 4y agoOh, it shouldn't be the case. But anyone can easily finetune the Base model on the same datasets in a couple of hours on any consumer GPU with 8GB of VRAM and release it under the commercial license (using https://github.com/johnsmith0031/alpaca_lora_4bit https://github.com/johnsmith0031/alpaca_lora_4bit).
