https://www.comparia.beta.gouv.fr/modeles compares models and Llama different licenses are not mislabeled as "open source". Also, https://opensource.org/ai/endorsements shows code.gouv.fr in the list.

Cool, thanks! Cette licence permet d'utiliser, reproduire, modifier et distribuer librement le code avec attribution, mais impose des restrictions pour les opérations dépassant 700 millions d'utilisateurs mensuels. Interesting they only mention the 700 million users thing and not the other restrictions on use. Personally I could regard the prohibition against basically Google and Microsoft using it to be a minor tran…

Agreed. If you feel the need to report inconsistencies, the source code is here: https://github.com/betagouv/ComparIA

I'm always hoping to see more coverage of this initiative to drive Open Source adoption both within the United Nations and globally... https://news.slashdot.org/story/25/05/04/2350224/the-un-ditc...

No, there is no official French announcement (yet).

France has an undeserved bad reputation for this stuff. As a french citizen, I'm amazed to see how easy it has become to do anything administrative online, with great tools such as France Connect that allows a single login method for any administrative tool.

Real question is whether this is just symbolic or if the French state will actually redirect procurement pipelines + vendor mandates around these principles. i'd be more impressed if this came bundled with policy teeth, e.g. requiring all software vendors to deliver open-by-default interfaces or pushing funding toward open infra maintenance. Otherwise it's hardly much more than a manifesto
