Where do you get that? tatsu-lab/stanford_alpaca is apache 2.0, so you can use it for whatever.

for OpenAI

So as far as I'm concerned you are allowed to use the generated dataset for commercial purposes...

Only use might be the licensing on the llama models... but you can train another LLM

Alpaca is not Apache 2.0

Edit: I see the source of confusion. https://github.com/tatsu-lab/stanford_alpaca

While the code is released under apache 2.0, the instruct dataset as pointed out by OP is not. One could potentially repro the steps, possibly with human ground truth, and release under a more amenable data license.

Interesting I didn't realise the dataset was on HF with a different license. The dataset (https://github.com/tatsu-lab/stanford_alpaca/blob/main/alpaca_data.json) is also in the code repo which has the apache 2.0 license, so the dataset would be covered by it.
