OpenMDW - A Permissive Future for Open AI Models - Matt White, Linux Foundation
Thursday March 20, 2025 12:00pm - 12:30pm PDT
Silverado East
Join us to explore OpenMDW, a first-of-its-kind open license designed for AI models, datasets, parameters and associated artifacts. OpenMDW eliminates ambiguity, offering clear, permissive rights for use, modification, and distribution—empowering developers, researchers, and enterprises alike.

With an MIT-like style, OpenMDW includes an explicit patent grant, unrestricted use of outputs, and alignment with the Model Openness Framework, ensuring shared components have proper legal rights while respecting contributors' boundaries. It strikes the perfect balance between openness and protection, enabling innovation without mandating the release of all model elements.

Discover how OpenMDW fosters trust, transparency, and supports innovation and research, while reducing legal risks and driving industry collaboration.

This session is your opportunity to shape the future of open AI. Don’t miss it!
