Meta makes their models free to most users (not all – there's a "large commercial use" exemption!), and I do appreciate that practically. Still, they don't publish their detailed training methodology, which must have immense value for them internally. Even if they choose to never exercise the "large user exemption" in their current license, they can decide to license Llama 4 under restrictive terms (or not release weights at all – better start using Meta products if you want to gain access!) whenever it's convenient for them to do so. All of that doesn't exactly scream "public good worthy of a copyright exemption" to me, in a world where libraries, retro computing/gaming archivists and others are still continuously harassed by copyright holders.
