I think people may be drastically over-valuing their code. If it was emitting an entire meaningful product, that would be something else. But it’s emitting nuts and bolts.

If the issue is more specifically copyright infringement, then leverage the legal apparatus in place for that. Their lawyers might listen better.

This is not a strongly held opinion and if you disagree I would love to hear your constructive thoughts!

If they're that trivial and valueless, Microsoft should have no problem coming up with their own training sets instead of stealing them en masse from the public.

If I create something, I get to define the terms of its use, reproduction, distribution, etc. "Value" plays no part in whether someone can appropriate and distribute that creation without permission from the creator.
