How was this allowed? I was under the impression that companies the size of Microsoft needed to contact Meta to negotiate a license.
Excerpt from the license:
Additional Commercial Terms. If, on the Llama 2 version release date, the
monthly active users of the products or services made available by or for Licensee,
or Licensee's affiliates, is greater than 700 million monthly active users in the
preceding calendar month, you must request a license from Meta, which Meta may
grant to you in its sole discretion, and you are not authorized to exercise any of the
rights under this Agreement unless or until Meta otherwise expressly grants you
such rights.
- amelius 3y ago> To get access permissions to the Llama 2 model, please fill out the Llama 2 access request form. If allowable, you will receive GitHub access in the next 48 hours, but usually much sooner. I guess they send the form to Meta? Anyway, I hope this is not what Open Source will be like from now on.

- stu2b50 3y agoSo they negotiated a license? Meta partnered with Azure for the Llama 2 launch, there’s no reason to think that they’re antagonistic towards each other.
