Off topic: Qwen 3.8 license suggestion

#5
by nonetrix - opened

I am sorry for reaching out this way, but I'm not really sure of a better way honestly. There are rumors Qwen 3.8 will be licensed in such a way that will require providers making money from Qwen to give a share of profits. I think this is completely reasonable personally and is great for supporting/incentivizing future open model development, but it has caused a lot of controversy, with people claiming Qwen is moving away from open source (not true in my opinion).

I just wanted to suggest that maybe there could be a clause in the license that this restriction doesn't apply or becomes a less restrictive license like MIT after a certain date. I am fairly certain this is legally doable and would likely build trust while achieving the same thing. Please consider. Thanks, best of wishes for the release :-)
