I think we have forgotten the foundation of open source which was free software which was about empower the user.
Instead of all these complicated criteria, there are only 2 criteria that get to the heart of the question:
1. Can you run this on your own hardware
2. Can you use this directly or tweak this as a community to make porn without a bunch of barriers
This gets to the heart of the matter: Can you run the software without having to be dependent on the company, and can you modify the software to do something that the company may not want you to do with it.
If it is able to pass both tests, it is functionally "open source"
By that criteria, ChatGPT is definitely not open but Llama is closer
