#2According to whom?
Weights are a type of program, which are interpreted by the neural network runtime. Same as Java bytecode interpreted by the JVM runtime.

#3I've always seen weights as akin to configuration files.

Java bytecode is not "open source". At least for Java bytecode there are decompilers.

#5If my own data is in the dataset even when I didn't give consent is it a collaborator dataset?

x86 machine code is a type of program, which is interpreted by the processor, but distributing the binary of my program doesn't make it open source.

#8> The ethical license category applies to licenses that allow commercial use of the component but includes field of endeavor and/or behavioral use restrictions set by the licensor.
I don’t love the name, “ethical license” sounds like a description of the license: this license is ethical. Really this sort of license imposes a particular ethical framework on the user.
Not to throw shade, though. It is actually hard to come up neutral sounding name for this sort of license I think. I keep thinking of things like “morality encumbered license,” but that sounds ridiculously euphemistic in a weird way.

Weights are data, not a type of program.
A computer program is a set of instructions that may be executed. Weights are values that may be loaded by a program, but are not a program in and of themselves.

#10Hmm. Makes a few unsubstantiated claims, with hand-wavy appeals to risks that our private corp overlords are presumably protecting us humble users from, now that they've built their product on open source and data by closing it down and changing terminology to suit.
There's an intelligent discussion to be had, and I think this otherwise-reasonable article could be part of it if it toned down the presumption and condescension a little.
