Hi Heather,

Maybe a complicated one here…

Does training a neural net/ML model on a copyrighted dataset that is licensed under a reciprocal license X: a) subject the model to the reciprocal license X; b) enable the copyright owner to have a serious colorable claim under the license or copyright law to rights to the trained model; and/or c) cause any other wonky unexpected effects in contract or copyright law?

Presume the model is not distributed, but merely is used to enable SaaS software usage by third parties…

Thanks!!!
