Alpaca is not Apache 2.0

Edit: I see the source of confusion. https://github.com/tatsu-lab/stanford_alpaca

While the code is released under apache 2.0, the instruct dataset as pointed out by OP is not. One could potentially repro the steps, possibly with human ground truth, and release under a more amenable data license.

Interesting I didn't realise the dataset was on HF with a different license. The dataset (https://github.com/tatsu-lab/stanford_alpaca/blob/main/alpaca_data.json) is also in the code repo which has the apache 2.0 license, so the dataset would be covered by it.
