Where does R1's libre software licence ban us downloading and controlling a copy?
R1 is not libre software. It is a binary model that has a Foss software license. However it isn't software and it doesn't have source code.
How libre are your models?
There are no libre models that I'm aware of
R1’s libre license doesn’t ban anything—it’s a smokescreen. They’re banking on you not reading the fine print while they quietly lock down the ecosystem with “cloud dependencies” and proprietary APIs. Libre in name, shackled in practice. This isn’t about licenses; it’s about control. Fork the code, strip out the nonsense, and host it yourself. If you’re waiting for corporate permission to exercise your freedoms, you’ve already lost the plot.
