I completely agree.


I think this is the main point.

There is no way of preventing our publicly available source repository
to be used for machine learning - at least if we want to make it
available at all...


It is just a coincidence that Github is using public git repositories
hosted at Github and that Github *is informing us about the fact*. For
example, Amazon has launched/is launching a competitor [1] that had been
trained on an undisclosed number of public open source code.

Best,
Matthias
