The code is under the MIT license, not the weights. The weights are under their respective licenses.

The weights are not included in the git tree and are thus not covered by the LICENSE file. They are automatically downloaded when you run the code.

EDIT: following your comment, I have added a point-by-point breakdown of licensing information in the README. This will avoid any confusion.

Don't take my word for it, but actually as far as I know both in the US and EU data (including model weights) can't be copyrighted.

I'd like to see more information on this.

I ask because I'm surprised more companies haven't gotten into the market of licensing the data they collect (unless they do, in which case, sorry).

Even if this might be true, including a license of some kind is really a best practice at this point. Something like a Creative Commons license is probably more appropriate than the MIT license, but when there's an explicit license there's no doubt about what your rights are.
