It probably has more to do with the fuck up they did with accidentally creating a torrent for the original model’s weights allowing them to spread across the internet. Doesn’t really take “balls” to open source it after that and make it look like it was intentional. Still good that they did however rather than trying to use legal intimidation on anyone who used the leaked models.
