[$] Questions about machine learning models for Fedora

Description:
Kaitlyn Abdo of Fedora's AI/ML
SIG opened an issue with the
Fedora Engineering Steering Committee (FESCo) recently that carried a few 
tricky
questions about packaging machine-learning (ML) models for Fedora. 
Specifically, the SIG is looking for guidance on whether pre-trained weights 
for PyTorch constitute code or content. And, if the models are released under 
a license approved by the Open Source Initiative (OSI),
does it matter what data the models were trained on? The issue was quickly
tossed over to Fedora's legal
mailing list and sparked an interesting discussion about how to
handle these items, and a temporary path forward.
