My point is about whether these trained neural network data are
something that we could distribute per the FSDG.

The LWN article above mentions ‘leela-zero’.  In Debian (which has a
different policy), ‘leela-zero’ has apparently been accepted, but
without the data, and with a link to said data (as in your original
patch):

  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=903634

Perhaps we could do the same, but I’d like to hear what others think.

Thank you,
Ludo’.
