License Notes

  • This is the original Llama 3 (April 18, 2024) agreement. LicenseDB already has
    llama-2-license-2023, llama-3.1-license-2024, llama-3.2-license-2024,
    llama-3.3-license-2024, llama-4-cla-2025, and llama-license-2023
    (LLaMA 1), but no key for the plain Llama 3 text (checked against
    index.json on 2026-08-17). By analogy with the existing keys a name like
    llama-3-license-2024 would fit; your call.
  • Single dated version; the 3.1/3.2/3.3 agreements are separately titled and
    already keyed.
  • Text as fetched from the GitHub URL on 2026-08-17: 12,403 bytes, 1,866
    words, SHA-256 4fa551d4f938f68b8c1e6afa9d28befb70e3f33f75d0753248d530364aeea40f.
  • Usage: 10,452 Hugging Face model repos carry license: llama3 (facet count
    2026-08-17); Hugging Face calls this llama3.
  • Note: the copy in meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B on Hugging Face is behind a
    gated repo (HTTP 401 without login), so the GitHub URL is the accessible
    canonical text.
