Yeah you are correct I posted before realizing what sub I was in. I would kill for a opensource version I have tried all of them but keep coming back to obsidian

Nope but they made the license free to use in most any context. The commercial license requirement has been dropped.

Obsidian will change your life

It’s not unfounded and I don’t know of a time when Linus wasn’t right in the end. But I wouldn’t say it’s blind devotion he would be turned on in a second he betrayed his principles. Also FOSS is not about lack of ownership its about sharing code for the greater good. Every owner of a project knows that a project can be forked in an instant.

I can’t confirm if this is correct or not but another example is you can use deepseek in aws bedrock right now. So it’s makes the same point.

No a model is a model now if you are talking a chat bot or ai app yeah you need the data and that data changes all the time but if I have the model I can supply my own and get simalr results to their model if the data I need is the same. The code is right here https://github.com/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3?tab=readme-ov-file I can get the models from https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3-Base and train them further and redistub that model legally.

Exactly

Didn’t I just read an article about Apple wanting to use it. It’s open source it can be forked and be American tomorrow. No matter how much Openai crys. This just shows the true lack of any knowledge on the subject. I’m not a fan of the Chinese government as much of the next guy. But the information is out there.

Oh Dann I got this same message but it got deleted before I checked my inbox. I guess the instance mods are on point.
