The description explains you about the basics of ML.

Do you have permission to copy and paste from https://www.toptal.com/machine-learning/machine-learning-theory-an-introductory-primer and release it under the MIT licence?

Exciting-Capsule commented 5 years ago

@hugovk Nice catch. How do you even find out? I myself am still learning on all this open source. I know we shouldn't copy from someone else works unless you got the permission. But what is it got to do with released under MIT license?

hugovk commented 5 years ago

I just googled a bit of the text and up it popped.

This repo is licensed under MIT.

Exciting-Capsule commented 5 years ago

@hugovk Yes. This repo is licensed under MIT. There wouldn't be any license out there that allow plagiarism isn't it? Or if people want to do that, they will not put any license on the repo? Sorry, just confused and confirming

The main issue is taking someone else's text, which as far as we know is copyrighted, and re-using it without permission. There are some exceptions for fair use and academic purposes, but you'd need to look those up.

There's no licence which allows plagarism. It doesn't matter what the licence of this repo is. It matters what the licence/permission of the original text is. Some original texts say you may do what you want with it (eg. it's public domain or CC0) or you may do certain things with it (other Creative Commons or licences). I don't see that on https://www.toptal.com/machine-learning/machine-learning-theory-an-introductory-primer, but I do see a copyright at the bottom of the page.

The second is taking someone else's text, and releasing it under a licence which allows anyone else to do what they want with the text. But without permission to do that in the first place, you can't then allow others to do what they want with it.

Hi I am sry, I just wanted to display a good ml introduction. So I found that website was having a good intro so I copied and pasted it in my pull request. I don't think it's an offence,the website is for everyone.
