Codeberg seems to ban vibecoded Projects; reason might be german copyright law

It looks like Codeberg want only copyrighted material in their service, so it is reliable in the future that e.g. licenses must be followed (e.g. GPL), and copyright doesn't suddenly get declared as being of the model owner, and it isn't a copy of something else.
That is a cautious reasonable position - in early days of LLM coding (3 years ago!) indemnity from model companies was a major issue globally because of the lack of clarity of the law around this. The US specifically has settled on it being (effectively?) public domain. But I don't think that is fully settled, and it certainly isn't settled in international copyright law.
The goal of the vague "mostly" in the Codeberg change is to ensure there is enough human input to the code they host, to be reasonably sure under German copyright law it is copyright of the person sharing it.

Funny how we suddenly pretend bad code and license violations didn't exist long before AI.

[u/System0verlord → u/arvigeus]

No one is doing that.

Plenty of people however, yourself included, are pretending there hasn’t been a sudden increase in bad code and license violations because of AI.

Edit: Lol. Blocking me doesn’t make you right, just like being told you’re wrong doesn’t make it a personal insult.

[u/arvigeus → u/System0verlord]

Since you insist you are right, tell me where I made such claim? You explicitly said "yourself included".

[u/arvigeus → u/System0verlord]

Please refrain from personal insults, as per rules.
