Protecting our FLOSS commons from LLMs
Codeberg e.V. has officially voted to prohibit the use of its platform's data for training Large Language Models (LLMs). The organization also implemented a ban on 'vibe-coded projects' to protect its free and open-source software commons.
Why it matters
This reflects a growing movement within the open-source community to establish boundaries against the unauthorized use of data by AI developers.
The Codeberg e. V. annual assembly is the meeting that puts power into the hand of our active members. Proposals are discussed live, and later voted on asynchronously.
Since Large Language Models (LLMs) are an emerging but controversial technology, it is not surprising that two of the votes were concerned with Codeberg's position about this technology. The 14-day voting period ended yesterday and both proposals were accepted.
The first vote was a statement about Codeberg e. V.'s stance on using your data to train LLMs.
