Incorrect dataset licenses in MOT

Reading this article, I was excited to see there was finally a way to find fully open models. Unfortunately, it seems that most of the class I models don't have training data under open licenses. Both the Pythia and OLMo entries say that their datasets are licensed under Apache 2.0, but they both contain proprietary sources according to their linked documentation.
I've reported this as an issue on GitHub that was acknowledged by Le Hors (https://github.com/lfai/model_openness_tool/issues/228), so hopefully these problems are fixed and more validation is done in the future.
