> Great call out @nick on the license change for [dolma](https://huggingface.co/datasets/allenai/dolma). Given that, I do think that OLMo would qualify as open source based on the criteria that I posit is necessary. Pythia still would not as the data are not licensed.

Dolma contains data that is not being used in a fashion consistent with its license, just like the Pile does. They didn’t go through C4 and validate the licensing of everything in it.
