Unfortunately, the 72B model still uses the old license, but still a great step in the right direction.

Right but that license doesn't seem too bad as long as you don't get to 100 million users.

Do we actually know if companies even have the right to license these things? Last I heard there was no consensus on whether model weights even qualify for copyright protection.

No, we do not know, and unless the emperor steps out, we will not know if he has on any clothes.
