UwU~
Let's be real here, the concerns about what the copyright is of code that's produced by AI is still sort of in the air, especially for a site that wants to host content from across the globe. Codeberg picking its battles and not wanting to deal with that for now seems reasonable.
The funny thing is that this sort of happened. I don't know if it ever happened this lewdly, but I'm pretty sure folks would ship around portraits of themselves as a means of courting.
IANAH - I am not a historian
I think that it's natural for people to think they admit when they're wrong, but it's also natural to not admit it. As humans we don't make decisions based on logic, we do it based on emotions. We then instead explain our decisions with logic. I think the usual way people's minds change is that they'll effectively be convinced of something but won't really admit or accept it (or even be consciously aware of it), but then the next time the topic comes up they'll have the new opinion.
Did you not read the actual change?
- You must not share projects that mostly consist of code written by "generative AI"-tools (including services such as Claude, OpenAI Codex). Such projects having an unclear copyright status (see requirements § 2 (1) 1 and § 2 (1) 3) and furthermore have little safeguards to ensure that they do not include harmful code (c.f. § 2 (1) 5).
That'll drive the flerfs wild!
I thought you webdevs were good with implied semicolons because of JavaScript lol
If you're willing to pay they probably will, but it's something that's generally very expensive, so not something they advertise. If you're serious about it, look into business offerings.
I can't see the future, but this all doesn't sound like an ideological "vibe code is bad, we don't allow it" but a "the copyright of vibe coded content is unclear across jurisdictions, we don't allow it." So I don't think it's something they'll say "hey, this looks vibe coded, deleted." Many projects self proclaim they're vibe coded. Many projects list every commit that is vibe coded. It seems likely they'll go after those projects instead.
But yes, I'm not an oracle, and Codeberg could always heel turn and turn this into a witch hunt, but I don't think they've earned that reputation.
It just feels really baseless to me. Have you read their terms of service? I'm sure there are other similar things in there. Like most terms of service there are parts that say they reserve the right to remove things for reasons not specifically listed. For example, they say if something is harmful to their organization they can remove it even if something isn't listed explicitly. And that's something that pretty much all services say. So why is this specifically the thing that makes you worried?
Has Codeberg earned a reputation of deleting things without warning and not making good decisions though?
There is not a magic solution that is perfect in every scenario. Air conditioners decrease humidity as a side effect, though.
