The Codeberg forge has adopted a pair of new policies, promising not to use
hosted projects to train LLMs and, more controversially, banning the
hosting of LLM-generated software. The site’s blog describes
and justifies these policies.

Although often well intentioned, sharing the result of a prompt
and calling it “libre software” does not make the world a better
place. Codeberg is not and does not want to be a place to dump such
generated single-use software that no one else will ever look
at. We are a place for people to collaborate and improve software
together. Within this context, the recent votes can be understood
as a reconfirmation of those principles: As we want to center on
human collaboration, we will not actively support or engage in the
creation of LLMs and will not put our limited resources to use for
storing single-use software that would pollute our FLOSS commons.
