Yes, I discovered this while doing the internal packaging. The default
English models I looked at seemed to be quite dubious to me too, both
from a legal perspective and a DFSG/ML-Policy perspective.

I will do that, are there any guidelines for which team to use for
specific packages or should I ask on the list(s) about it?

One other issue I encountered is outdated embedded code copies
(specifically cython-blis has a copy of blis), I'd like to solve that
upstream, do have a GitHub account and would you mind if I CCed you on
any GitHub issues that I file about this?

OK, hopefully he will see this mail :)
