There is widespread confusion about the licenses used for datasets. Here the "dataset" is listed as "CC-BY-4.0" referring to a list of URLs, not the images. Yet it appears that both HF and LAION are referring to the dataset of images, which is riddled with IP issues ranging from claims of copyright infringement to opt-out requests via haveibeentrained.com. Listing the "dataset" on HF as "CC-BY-4.0" is misleading.
Suggestion: consider improved terminology to disambiguate text files "datasets" from actual image datasets to avoid confusing researchers.
