Things being public should not be enough. just because someone leaked your medical information to the public via a data breach should not make it fair game. There should be some rules.

I feel that's a false dichotomy. The code on github is freely available for people to read and learn from, leaked medical data isn't.

So would be your leaked medical record.

The point is not that this situation seems absurd. The point is that we need some point where we say whats ok or not.

And by ignoring licensing of public code already we moved it closer to the worse end of the spectrum

There are rules. I believe that search engine indexing follows these rules and that so called "training" is search engine indexing.

But a court may differ in the future.
