Great to see a working AI Open Source definition. Even if it has flaws, it's great to see progress on this front and be able to have a better point to call AI players that open wash themselves as "Open Source AI" when they are actually Free as in beer.

> An Open Source AI is an AI system made available under terms and in a way that grant the freedoms[1] to:

* **Use** the system for any purpose and without having to ask for permission.
* **Study** how the system works and inspect its components.
* **Modify** the system for any purpose, including to change its output.
* **Share** the system for others to use with or without modifications, for any purpose.
