Ah yes, that model. Of course. You're right. I would know because I have read the details for every model in existence and can clearly infer which one you're talking about. Yes.
There's lots of open source models you can download from Hugging Face, Ollama, and even github without signing any contracts or terms of use. Gemma3, Llama, Ministral, GLM, olmo, and a bajillion others. GLM-4.7-Flash is a very capable agentic model that can run at very usable speeds on commodity hardware - and none of what it generates is dictated by any agreements or policies agreed to anywhere.

You agreed to these terms when you downloaded Gemma3 from an official source and if you did not then you're an unlicensed user AKA piracy.
Interestingly, none of the official sources for the model weights clickwrap the download in a way that forces the user to read or agree to those terms before downloading. There is precedent for such terms being unenforceable when the user isn't forced to agree to the terms.
