Hello,
Thank you for releasing this model! Unfortunately, due to the CC-BY-NC license, it is not open sourced. Would you consider changing the license to a more permissive license (ie Apache) so it could be open sourced?
Thank you and great work on this!

Please consider Apache-2.0 or MIT license

Hi folks. We’ve released these weights to enable other researchers and developers to experiment, explore and build - but specifically for non-commercial purposes. We based our license on the CC-BY-NC license, as Creative Commons licenses are already widely familiar, and there’s some existing precedent for use in ML models.

When we release a model under another license, like the Aya model which is Apache 2.0, we will create a new model card. You can follow the organization to see when we release new models.

when you say: This model is governed by a CC-BY-NC License with an acceptable use addendum

what is: acceptable use addendum part?
