Codeberg: ToU extension to prohibit LLM-extrusions

Codeberg Proposes Banning LLM-Generated Code in New Terms of Use

Codeberg is moving to update its Terms of Use to prohibit projects that mostly consist of LLM-generated code. This proposal aims to address unclear copyright statuses and ethical concerns regarding outsourcing human thinking to AI. While the community debates the strictness of the definition, the core intent is to maintain Codeberg as an ethical alternative where contributors thoroughly understand and review their work.

Slapping the label educational purposes is not a get-out-of-jail-free card. It doesn't magically make the copyright issues go away.
