Honeypot so they can scrape everyone's code.

I guess when they can just get infinite money out of thin air it doesn't matter if they waste it.
It is good news to see them work on something that's almost certain to fail to speed up their fall tho.
Was self-hosting gitlab or foregejo not an option?
They’ll probably just fork forgejo add some slight “ai agentic” bullshit and market it as their own product.
I was going to say hopefully the forgejo licence doesn’t allow that but then again, OpenAI have shown they don’t really care about copyright or anything like that
Forgejo is licensed under GPLv3, so I think it isn't possible to do so
Correct me if I wrong, but the GPL has the weakpoint of web distribution in the sense that a backend is not shipped to the client, so you can keep a forked GPL product without publishing back. The AGPL was made for this (and the SSPL (I think) is like any network interface needed should be published too).
Probably they'll try that millenary genAI technique...
"rewrite this code so it's legally different and license it as I want"
"What could be worse than MICROSOFT overseeing open source software? Wait no! It was a rhetorical question!"
Why? Seems like a massive waste of resources. We already have several source controls
Wasting resources is literally AI's main thing
Github is not source control
this is used to scrape people code to train model. In recent times github restrict repo access without login so they maybe making own git platform.
"early stages", "could not verify", "company did not respond", "considers making available for purchase"
That's neither solid news, nor a real or full GitHub alternative.
