I thought several other people besides Mo Zhu had also said that on this list, 
but just in case they haven’t, I would like to go on the records that I also 
feel that training data is one of the preferred forms of modification in 
machine learning and should be thus considered for anything being included in 
main.

In my opinion, it is fine to include otherwise distributable ML applications 
without available training data in non-free.
