open source is also very tricky with LLMs: i’d argue if you can’t recreate it from scratch, it’s not open source… deep seek does not contain all the data necessary to recreate it from scratch: it’s open weights (the model itself can be downloaded and run) but not open source… i’d classify it as free (as in beer) software; not open source

Excellent addition, I agree!

That's the criteria of many FOSS catalogue repositories: they won't add any software that is not completely reproducible.
