You'd be wrong. Open source has a commonly accepted definition and a CC licensed PNG does not fall under it. It's copyleft, yes, but not open source.
I do agree that model weights are data and can be given a license, including CC0. There might be some argument about how one can assign a license to weights derived from copyrighted works, but I won't get into that right now. I wouldn't call even the most liberally licensed model weights open-source though.
Fair enough, it’s not source code, so open source doesn’t apply.
