Are there any speech-to-text models that are fully OSS for everything from training data/code to model weights?

Whisper doesn't list its training data (or code?), so can't be an open-source model, just an open weights model.
Parakeet does list its training data, and at least one of those is not FOSS, but some of them definitely are FOSS. I wonder if they nVidia would create a fully FOSS model by retraining on only the open data.

Not that I know of. I think the two most prominent open-source models that we hear about are Whisper and Parakeet!
