I think open weights is a fair term, much like open source but for weights.

Open source never implied that commercial applications were authorized.

I feel like the community is splitting hairs when the Anthropic/OpenAI are just locking everybody in way further than Mistral.

In recent years many companies mislabeled source abailable code as open source as a marketing and to build a comunity before the rug pull.
