It doesn't matter where the code is hosted, just that it is publicly accessible. If developers hosted code on their own sites, someone could still scrape them and use that to train models.

If developers hosted code on their own sites, someone could still scrape them and use that to train models. I'd suggest it makes it more interesting. If it's self hosted, then the hoster can choose to impose restrictions on server aceess, including no automated scraping, rather than trying to impose licensing on the code itself.
