That’s safe but it’s probably not necessary to be protected from what GitHub, OpenAI, and Microsoft are doing. When these licenses were crafted there was no reasonable expectation that companies could use ML applications as a loop hole in existing copyright licenses, so just because there is no explicit clause denying it doesn’t mean they are in the clear for using copyright-protected code that way. Licenses give permission, they don’t revoke it. Copyright is broad, licenses are minimal. This must be the case otherwise they would not be very effective at protecting the work of creators. There is no explicit allowance for what GitHub is doing in most licenses so they do not have general permission to do so.
