Yup. They have not even acknowledged the fact that it’s closed, despite a ton of questions. Ppl are downloading it assuming it’s open source only to get a nasty surprise. No mention of it in their blog post announcing the GUI. Plus no new license for it. And no privacy policy. Feels deceptive.

“I heard docker people are behind Ollama” um yes it’s founded by ex docker people and has raised multiple rounds of VC funding. The writing is on the wall - this is not some virtuous community project, it’s a profit driven startup and at the end of the day that is what they are optimizing for.

^^^ absolutely spot on. There’s a big element of deception going on. I could respect it (and would trust the product more) if they were upfront about their motives and said “yes we are a venture backed startup and we have profit aspirations, but here’s XYZ thing we can promise. Instead it’s all smoke and mirrors … super sus.
