NVIDIA adopts Linux Foundation's OpenMDW framework to standardize licensing for its open AI models
The framework unifies legal terms for models, code, and data.
#64Nathan Lambert@NATOLAMBERTLicenses are probably the top very un-sexy things that help the open ecosystem become more long-term stable and economically viable. Excited about this!
NVIDIA AI@NVIDIAAIWe're adopting the Linux Foundation’s OpenMDW framework across our open model families. This helps make open model licensing simpler and more consistent at scale. A single legal framework across models, code, documentation, and data helps reduce friction for developers and enterprises building with open source.
#1153Florian Brand@XEOPHONthis is a huge thing.
i wasn't aware, but @matthew_d_white explained to me that A2.0 and MIT are bad model licenses and that they worked hard with actual lawyers to make such a license but for models
NVIDIA pushing forward means that it has a real shot at adoption now 🤗
