### Licence and usage restrictions

The data was generated by gpt-4 via OpenAI API calls.

The ToS for OpenAI API usage has a clause preventing the output from being used to train a model that __competes__ with OpenAI

- what does *compete* actually mean here?
- these small open source models will not produce output anywhere near the quality of gpt-4, or even gpt-3.5, so I can't imagine this could credibly be considered competing in the first place
- if someone else uses the dataset to do the same, they wouldn't necessarily be violating the ToS because they didn't call the API, so I don't know how that works
- the training data used in essentially all large language models includes a significant of copyrighted or otherwise unallowable licensing in the first place
- other work using the self-instruct method, e.g. the original here: https://github.com/yizhongw/self-instruct released the data and model as apache-2

I am purposingly leaving this license ambiguous (other than the fact you must comply with the Meta original license) because I am not a lawyer and refuse to attempt to interpret all of the terms accordingly.

Your best bet is probably to avoid using this commercially due to the OpenAI API usage.

Either way, by using this model, you agree to completely idemnify me from any and all license related issues.

Attribution would be nice if you use some or all of the data.
