This dataset includes code published without a license (all rights reserved) and code with licenses this dataset does not comply with.

Hi @easrng , note that this dataset does not contain the content of the code files but only SWHIDs which are pointers to the Software Heritage archive.

The Software Heritage Archive is itself a massive copyright infringement.

As I and many others have found, if you send them a takedown notice, they will argue (on no legal basis) that they can use any code they found on GitHub.

The code that Software Heritage insists on hosting includes code with no license (which means it is licensed only for GitHub to host it, and "all rights reserved" for all others) or code that includes harmful PII.

They use your logo, HuggingFace, and say that they are doing this in partnership with you. Linking to a different website is not a defense against infringement.
