Explicitly stating assumptions is necessary for good communication. That's why we do it in research. :)
It doesn't, actually. A binary alone, by definition, is not open source as the binary is the product of the source, much like a model is the product of training and refinement processes.
On this we agree :) which is why saying a model is open source or slapping a license on it doesn't make it open source.
