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.

the method on github is to fork it not steal all the data in an external storage for external purposes without consent of the user.

edit: you can also report their whole account to github here: https://support.github.com/contact/report-abuse?category=report-abuse&report=bigcode-project&report_id=110470554&report_type=user

    I'm pretty sure they just cloned the repos. That's how GitHub is designed to work. Have you never cloned a repo from GitHub?

    Yes, but I used it under the licence terms of the original developer.

    So have they. They filter by license - see my other comment.
