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.

    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.

      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.
