Apache with a MaaS commercial exclusion tacked on.

This is more than that. They also define distilling as "derivative". This is a dedicated license where you can use it for internal stuff as long as you don't serve clients directly. They also have the attribution clause > 100M mau and 20M$ revenue.

As long as it's clear (not that modified MIT nonsense), licensing is up to them. They put in the effort and decide how to license it. All fair game. Sad that there's more and more of this, but it is what it is...

Eh it does no harm to us hobbyists. Those with enough resources to be limited by this license can wipe tears with their GPU clusters for all I care.

Some of those limited by this license have been releasing open models for your benefit.

Do you not see how thus limiting them might benefit you less?
