Armin Ronacher critiques Codeberg's new terms of service that ban projects mostly written with generative AI. While acknowledging Codeberg's democratic right to make this decision, he argues the policy is vague and unenforceable — 'mostly' AI-written code is hard to measure — and that a clearer rule targeting spam or resource abuse would be better. He expresses concern that the open source community is fracturing over LLMs, and worries that Codeberg is choosing a narrow political identity over becoming a broad, dependable European alternative to GitHub.
