Would be a terrible shame if lots of people opted out.

If you are a EU citizen you might also want to write a complaint to privacy@huggingface.co because they are collecting your personally identifiable information in machine-readable form which they are distributing to third parties.

    We want to give developers agency over their source code by letting them decide whether or not it should be used to develop and evaluate machine learning models.

    fuck them seriously; if you want to do that then don’t steal the repositories in the first place.

      Kinda hope it uses my code. It’s so terrible there’s no doubt it will make the resulting code from the model worse even if the impact is miniscule

        They cloned a few projects I’ve made that rely heavily on a library I also made, I’m only pulling out the library.

        It’s not, but it may be violation of licenses. And also, if it has personal information on it, that’s probably illegal under the GDPR.

          but it may be violation of licenses

          They excluded code with non-permissive licenses apparently:

          Each file is labelled permissive (at least one permissive license detected, no conflicting non-permissive license), no_license (no licenses detected, or only non-license legal texts such as CLAs), or non_permissive. The permissive allowlist follows the Blue Oak Council list plus licenses categorized as Permissive or Public Domain by ScanCode. Files classified as non_permissive are excluded from both released datasets.

          also, if it has personal information on it, that’s probably illegal under the GDPR.

          It’s all public so I would be extremely surprised if that were the case.
