The most telling part is when he explains that in order to grant stock options he had to navigate each and every single different legal setup for each one of the member states. I felt for a while the "European Union" has been turned into a foil for nations that had absolutely no intention to really integrate. Unless actual integration, simple one rule for all on the continent, happens within the next handfuls of mont…

I think one could argue that he tried this "the easy way" in his first term.

Deepseek is open-weight, not open-source afaik.

Recent DeepSeek models are MIT and Apache 2.0. You can see the licenses here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeepSeek#Development_and_relea... .

That's licensing, not whether the training data and pipelines were made open-source.

Oh yeah, in that sense, they are not. I thought you were suggesting the weights licenses weren't OSI-approved.
