    [$] Questions about machine learning models for Fedora

    Description:
    Kaitlyn Abdo of Fedora's AI/ML
    SIG opened an issue with the
    Fedora Engineering Steering Committee (FESCo) recently that carried a few tricky
    questions about packaging machine-learning (ML) models for Fedora. Specifically, the SIG is looking for guidance on whether pre-trained weights for PyTorch constitute code or content. And, if the models are released under a license approved by the Open Source Initiative (OSI),
    does it matter what data the models were trained on? The issue was quickly tossed over to Fedora's legal
    mailing list and sparked an interesting discussion about how to
    handle these items, and a temporary path forward.
