I don't really care if a license meets some arbitrary definition.

Let's say I added a clause to my BSD license that prohibits the copying of this code to train ML models.

Would that not immediately make GitHub in violation of this license?

Or do they only train it where the license is explicitly one of the ones it knows about?

If you upload it to GitHub, you've already granted them a license to use it to improve their service. You aren't sharing it with GitHub under your custom BSD license, you're sharing it with GitHub users under that.

Thanks. I finally understood its a separate license grant to GitHub.

Also, apologies for responding to you twice with the same thing. I think I mixed something up and didn't intend to do that
