Wait 'till you find out how they get their training data :P

The AI world does not seem to give a toss about licensing. I admire the spirit of "make stuff first, worry about copyright later", but you at least have to pay lip service to the system if you don't want to get roadkilled when "later" comes too quick.

If you're on GitHub there is a fallback license in the TOS that covers forking and PRs, but you have nothing to protect you if you go off-site for whatever reason. It's there mainly to keep their users from getting sued for just being on GitHub. I don't remember how it interacts with multiple collaborating users all under the same fallback license; you may be able to argue implied license in that case, but implied license is even narrower than the GitHub fallback license.
