    Mistral is licensed under the Apache license version 2.0. This license is recognized under the GNU project and under the Open source initiative. This is because it protects your freedom.

    Meanwhile the Meta license places restrictions on use and arbitrary requirements. It is those requirements that lead me to choose not to use it. The issue with LLM licensing is still open but I certainly do not want a EULA style license with rules and restrictions.

      You are correct. I checked HuggingFace just now and see they are all released under Apache license. Thank you for the correction.
