Research direction
Start with the “Other known limitations” and “Licensing information” sections linked in the issue, then reproduce the GPL search in StarCoder2 Search and inspect the Software Heritage example. Done means the reported GPL inclusion is reviewed and the dataset or its licensing documentation reflects the project’s decision.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
In other known limitations, we can read:
To the best of our knowledge, all files contained in the dataset are licensed with one of the permissive licenses (see list in Licensing information) or no license. The accuracy of license attribution is limited by the accuracy of GHArchive and ScanCode Toolkit. Any mistakes should be reported to BigCode Project for review and follow-up as needed.
A search for “under the terms of the GNU General Public License” on StarCoder2 Search returns many entry.
My own GPL code is included, see swh:1:cnt:80ff01eaf4187cf470084f4b0b1fec223691549a as an example. I found this file by searching “diffoscope” in the search engine mentioned above. There is no point in listing a GitHub user, as the code has been embedded in a repository that is not under my control.
Please either state that you include code under the GPL (and other non-permissive licenses) or stop including such code in the dataset.
