It's three files that were scraped from (and so publicly available on) the web. That's not at all similar to your strawful analogy.

I'm over here trying to fathom the lack of control over one's own life it would take to cause someone to turn into an online copyright cop, when the data in question isn't even their own, is clearly divorced from any context which would make it useful for anything other than fixing the bug, and about which the original copyright holder hasn't complained.

Some people just want to argue.

If the copyright holder has a problem with the use, they are perfectly entitled to spend some of their dollar bills to file a law suit, as part of which the contents of the files can be entered into the public record for all to legally access, as was done with Scientology.

I don't expect anyone would be so daft.

Literally just asked a question and that seems to have set you off, bud. Are you alright? Do you need to feed your LLM more data to keep it happy?
I'm always happy to stand up for folks who make things over people who want to police them. Especially when nothing wrong has happened. Maybe take a walk and get some fresh air?
I share your distaste for people whose only contribution is subtraction but suggest you lay off the sarcasm though. Trolls; don't feed. (Well done on your project BTW)
I don't see any sarcasm from me in the thread. I had serious questions. Perhaps you could point out what you see? Thanks for the supportive words about the project.
Perhaps I misread "Maybe take a walk and get some fresh air?" - no worries though.
Literally all you did is bitch and moan about someone asking a simple question, lol. Go touch grass.
You're so brave
Thanks!
