Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/1509

Model licenses are not currently listed on model registry pages. This is a problem because many good models in the Ollama registry are not permitted for commercial use (see Orca2), or not permitted without extra steps (see Llama2, Codellama, Meditron, etc), and the ease of use of Ollama may lead to users violating license terms without knowing.

I'm not suggesting bending over backwards to support Facebook's approval process for Llama2 licensing (like on HuggingFace), just make a note of it and provide a link to agree to their terms.

Tangentially, several modelfiles may need to be updated (see #1461).

@pdevine commented on GitHub (Jan 25, 2024):

Hey @mikekasprzak they actually are on the model registry pages, but a little bit hard to find. If you are on a given model's page, you can click Tags and then in a given tag the licenses are shown as layers. You can also find this information if you type /show license in the REPL after loading a model.

Also, watch for some improvements in the next few weeks which makes this easier to find.

I'm going to go ahead and close this for now though.
