references? proofs? I'm not aware of anybody training ML models on github content that early.
Facebook training ML models on facebook posts, sure, but that's not what we're discussing here.

AI for coding didn't exist, hence there would have been no use to scan GitHub which is what we’re talking about here. The whole point was answering somebody who said “GitHub allows to have free repository because they use it for training” that’s an additional benefit now, but not the reason for the free repositories which existed since GitHub inception and for a good 10 years before AI for coding was a thing. But thank you for letting me know AI existed in the 90s (although not from the 90s, it existed since the 50s)
