Citation text from the card

**This dataset is CC BY-NC 4.0 — non-commercial use only.**

The upstream repository [`sahil280114/codealpaca`](https://github.com/sahil280114/codealpaca)
ships **two separate licence files**, and they do not say the same thing:

| File | Covers | Licence |
|---|---|---|
| `LICENSE` | the training/generation **code** | Apache-2.0 |
| `DATA_LICENSE` | `data/code_alpaca_20k.json`, i.e. **the data used here** | **CC BY-NC 4.0** |

The Hugging Face mirror [`sahil2801/CodeAlpaca-20k`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/sahil2801/CodeAlpaca-20k)
is tagged `cc-by-4.0`, which **drops the NonCommercial clause** present in the upstream
`DATA_LICENSE`. We verified both files directly rather than trusting the mirror's tag, and
this derivative follows the stricter upstream data licence: **CC BY-NC 4.0**.

Practical consequence: you may use, modify and redistribute this dataset **for
non-commercial purposes with attribution**. Training a model on it for a commercial
product is **not** covered. If you need a commercially usable code-instruction set,
this is not the right dataset.

Attribution:
- Data: Sahil Chaudhary, *Code Alpaca*, `sahil280114/codealpaca`, `DATA_LICENSE` (CC BY-NC 4.0).
- Outputs were generated with OpenAI `text-davinci-003`; OpenAI's terms of use apply to
  the generated content independently of this licence.
