I'm curious which 'permissive' licenses have terms permitting the use of the code as training data in machine learning algorithms. Are we assuming licenses which allow code to be modified/redistributed, also include this right?
What if a commercial for-profit company trains on a lot of copyleft code, then commercialises the result and refuses to release the model? Is that ethical?

I would assume this is the same as licences which allow to use the code to commercialise software when using it

Permissive licenses basically allow the user to do anything they want with the code save sue the author.

That probably isn't legal, but copyleft licenses are not permission licenses and are not included in this dataset for that reason.
