The main advantage of having a /home partition is that you can easily preserve it during reinstalls or during a distro hop. Reinstalls used to be more common in the past when some distros didn’t allow full distro upgrades without reinstalling. See this result which is still ranked #1 on duckduckgo
I personally use a @home btrfs subvolume which has most of the same advantages to me, and additionally allows @home and @root to share the same partition. It also allows me to use luks on everthing without bothering with lvm.
Section 4 is what gets me. Your rights are temporary and revokable meaning the the rest of the license doesn’t matter in the long term
<span style="color:#323232;">## Section 4: Termination, suspension and variation
</span><span style="color:#323232;">1. We may suspend, terminate or vary the terms of this license and any access to the code at any time, without notice, for any reason or no reason, in respect of any licensee, group of licensees or all licensees including as may be applicable any sub-licensees.

I also don’t believe it’s even fully source availiable. There are no build instructions, and you can’t clone all the submodules without signing in to their closed application gitlab instance. If anyone has sucessfully built it from source, please lmk.
Nevermind they did add build instructions since I last checked. Still lmk if anyone’s tested them.

I may be missing something, but the only machine learning focused api I know of are AMD’s ROCM, Nvidia’s CUDA, and now Intel’s oneAPI. I haven’t looked into Apple’s machine learning frameworks and I consider vulkan more of a general purpose api than a machine learning one.

Is there a copyleft equivalent for trademarks? I’m thinking of starting a project with distinct branding but I want everything to be based in FOSS principles.

I use a shared boot partition all the time. I mount my EFI system partion on /efi. Then I bind mount /efi/$OSNAME to /boot in my fstab. Then I just manage my bootloader (typically systemd-boot or refind) manually. Any distros I install are installed in my encrypted btrfs partition within their respected subvolumes
