Hmm, the fact that Ollama is open-source, can run in Docker, etc.?

Ollama is quasi-open source.

In some places in the source code they claim sole ownership of the code, when it is highly derivative of that in llama.cpp (having started its life as a llama.cpp frontend). They keep it the same license, however, MIT.

There is no reason to use Ollama as an alternative to llama.cpp, just use the real thing instead.
