alt Hacker NewsThanks to Github and the AI apocalypse, all my software is now stored on a private git repository on my server.
Why would I even spend time choosing a copyleft license if any bot will use my code as training data to be used in commercial applications? I'm not planning on creating any more opensource code, and what projects of mine still have users will be left on GH for posterity.
If you're still serious about opensource, time to move to Codeberg.

Yeah, I'm guessing that probably because in their TOS you grant them some license work-around for running the service, which can mean anything.
Made the same choice, my open source projects with users are in maintenance mode or archived. New projects are released via SaaS, compiled artifacts or not at all.
I scratch my open source itch by contributing to existing language and OS projects where incremental change means eventually having to retrain models to get accurate inference :)
