Breaking the Llama Community License

You're Probably Breaking the Llama Community License

I'll try to go through some of the points from the license that I think are the most likely to have been missed, in an effort to hopefully spread at least some new information that I haven't seen become common knowledge in the community, since many still refer to the Llama family of models as "open source". The full license can be found here: https://www.llama.com/llama3_3/license(At the time of writing, revision Llama 3.3 Version Release Date: December 6, 2024, read via browser on March 27, 2025). If you're currently in the situation where you are using Llama by self-hosting it or using it through any 3rd party, in any products or services you allow the public to use, and you haven't yet read through the full license, this hopefully should be a wake up call to do so and actively make a choice if you want to follow it or not.
