Though I’m reasonably sure Llama license (sic) isn’t preventing viewing the source
This is technically correct but irrelevant. Meta doesn’t provide any source code, by which I mean the full set of precursor steps (including the data and how to process it).
Generally speaking, a license defines usage rights; it has nothing to do with if/how the thing (e.g. source code) is made available.
As a weird example, one could publish a repository with a license but no source code. This would be odd. The license would have no power to mandate the code be released; that is a separate concern.
To put it another way, a license does not obligate the owner to release or share anything, whether it be compiled software, source code, weights, etc. A license simply outlines the conditions under which the thing (e.g. source code), once released, can be used or modified.
