Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/9965

The Gemma models distributed via https://ollama.com/search (gemma, gemma2, gemma3) have a license dated February 21, 2024 that includes the following text:

"Gemma is provided under and subject to the Gemma Terms of Use found at ai.google.dev/gemma/terms".
...
4.1 Updates
Google may update Gemma from time to time, and you must make reasonable efforts to use the latest version of Gemma.

Following that ai.google.dev link goes to a "Gemma Terms of Use" dated April 1, 2024, with a Section 4.1 that only says:

4.1 Updates
Google may update Gemma from time to time.

Could Ollama please distribute the Gemma models under Google's updated terms? The noted update to Section 4.1 makes these models more accessible to individuals facing extenuating personal circumstances (such as health issues) preventing reliably being able to "make reasonable efforts to use the latest version" even where using the latest version is desired anyway for reasons unrelated to terms of use.

Thanks - and thank you very much for Ollama, the ability to use AI models locally/offline on my Linux main system is immensely helpful and awesome!
