you are literally choosing to run the software that writes it to your disk. You also (probably) take steps to ensure the uploader does not have access to your disk. You are in control of what gets saved
when downloading something, you are making a copy. That copy is unauthorized. It's illegal. The distributor didn't give it to you, they still have their copy. And you just reproduced it again.
I view it as the source code of the model is the training data. The code supplied is a bespoke compiler for it, which emits a binary blob (the weights). A compiler is written in code too, just like any other program. So what they released is the equivalent of the compiler's source code, and the binary blob that it output when fed the training data (source code) which they did NOT release.
i prefer c than python tbh. When I write a c application, it keeps working. When I write a python script, it rots and rarely lasts a year before I have to stop whatever else I'm doing and dive back into the python code to get it working again
