FWIW, llama.cpp links to and fetches models from ollama (https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/blob/master/tools/run/...).

This issue seems to be the typical case of someone being bothered for someone else, because it implies there's no "recognition of source material" when there's quite a bit of symbiosis between the projects.

It's not worth much. That is a compeltely different thing.

What you mention equates to downloading a file from the web.

Ollama using code from llama.cpp without complying with the license terms is illegal.
