It's notable my fork of the freespace 2 code was included, but Volition's license forbids 'sale or other commercial exploitation' of derivative works.
thanks to this post, ive discovered that this dataset includes code ive written, some under MIT and some unlicenced. Its incredibly exploitative - as all LLM projects are. I used to tell people all the time about how good jetbrains IDEs were, since they started adding in AI tool i dont bother :/
