- While we aim to produce datasets with completely accurate licensing information, license laundering and inaccurate metadata can cause us to erroneously assign the incorrect license to some documents (for further discussion of this limitation, please see [our paper](https://huggingface.co/papers/2506.05209)). If you believe you have found an instance of incorrect licensing in this dataset, please [start a discussion](https://github.com/r-three/common-pile/discussions/new) on this repository.
