FSFE Main ChannelFOSDEM 2025 - Panel: When is an AI system free/open?This panel will explore what makes a machine learning model, or an “AI system”, Free Software / Open Source. Some topics we may address: - What, if anything, is the source code of a model? If the source code includes training data, what are the implications for LLMs and other large generative models? Can trained weights themselves be considered source code? - What does user freedom (and in particular, freedom to study and modify) mean in the context of AI models? How, if at all, does it differ from our traditional understanding of software freedom? - Are there any reasons to t...2025-02-1200 min

The New Stack PodcastThe Social Model of Open SourceIn this episode of The New Stack’s On the Road show at Open Source Summit in Austin, Julia Ferraioli, open source technical leader at Cisco’s open source programs office, spoke with The New Stack about some alternative ways to define what is and is not ‘open source.’ When someone says, well, that’s ‘technically’ open source, it’s usually to be snarky about a project that meets the legal criteria to be open source, but doesn’t follow the spirit of open source.
