This 'Modified MIT' is not a license that has been through the OSI process: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Open_Source_Definition#Com...

You can't just add random terms to an existing license and use its name. "Modified MIT: Like MIT but pay us 50 million dollars."

Perhaps CC-BY would've been more appropriate.

Correct again -- CC- applies to data, not code -- weights are data, open weights suggests a creative commons approach …

“ CC-BY 4.0 Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International

This license requires that reusers give credit to the creator. It allows reusers to distribute, remix, adapt, and build upon the material in any medium or format, even for commercial purposes.

it's annoying the open source term is being cargo-culted around and I hate to say it but that ship looks like it has sailed.

funny that free software people were infuriated by the open source term and now the open source term is being completely misused in another context
