Remind me again why developers are still hosting Free Code development on GritHub?

"With GitHub, it takes the form of disregarding the terms of free software licenses. In the process, they built a tool which facilitates the large-scale laundering of free software into non-free software by their customers, who GitHub offers plausible deniability through an inscrutable algorithm."

"To be specific, a clause which outright forbids the use of your code for training a machine learning model will make your software non-free, and I do not recommend this approach.

Instead, I would update your licenses to clarify that incorporating the code into a machine learning model is considered a form of derived work, and that your license terms apply to the model and any works produced with that model."
