I am entirely on Meta's side here. They have done a huge amount for open source ML, and with the llama2 license they are enabling millions of small-to-very-large companies with incredibly valuable technology, while asking the hyperscale cloud providers to pay. This is more than reasonable, in my view.

I would like to see more open source technologies taking this kind of licensing view - free for almost everyone, except the frankly parasitic hyperscalers who profit from others' largesse.

If this is the case, then I don't see any problems with it. Hyperscalers who wish to mass deploy llama2 to make a profit should pay. That seems fair.
