You seem to be conflating two things. Is the model itself a reproduction or is it capable or making reproductions? I think there is a strong argument for bot treating a ML model that is a mathematical amalgamation of a huge variety of mater

That caveat is irrelevant as it has nothing to do with a private repository. When code is public, especially with a GPL license, it can end up in multiple repositories which may not all de-check the share check.

If you your going to make these kinds of accusations (the kind that if proved true would lead to multi-million dollar lawsuits), you should at least try to provide sources.
