Codeberg: ToU extension to prohibit LLM-extrusions
4 hours ago
- Proposal to extend Codeberg's Terms of Use to prohibit sharing projects that are predominantly LLM-generated, citing unclear copyright status and ethical concerns.
- Discussion on wording: 'mostly' considered too lenient; suggestions include 'in significant part' to better capture intent.
- Supporters argue that legal gray areas around LLM-generated content pose risks for open source projects, including potential future claims by AI companies.
- Ethical concerns raised beyond copyright, such as environmental impact and labor issues, but the proposal focuses on copyright as a pragmatic starting point.
- The proposal has passed; a blog post will be prepared to announce the change along with a broader AI usage statement.
