The problem with this logic is that Codeberg itself is built on top of other FOSS.

What will happen when Git accepts its first vibe-coded patch.

Linus is famously ok with AI assisted coding, so eventually Linux can or will also cross the threshold.

Will Codeberg stay principled and stop using Git and Linux?

The ban doesn't even target projects with one AI-assisted patch. What are you talking about? Or does Torvalds also plan on using Claude Code to rewrite Linux and Git in Rust?

If a project uses AI assistance, it’s pretty much guaranteed that eventually 50% of the code in the project will in one way or the other be touched by AI assistance.

And Torvalds does seem to plan on continue using AI assistance.

It‘s because there is basically no way for code to become „clean“ so the entire process is one way.

"Yet you participate in society. Curious!"

Do they? A luddite response is not necessarily participating in society. It could be argued Codeberg group made a choice to opt out of participating.

Unless you're willing to host vibe-coded projects, you're for sure opting out of society. It says so right on the second page of the social contract.

On the other hand, stealing all intellectual works ever created without compensating the authors, building a plagiarism machine and then selling access to the stolen knowledge? Now that's participating in society.

And how do open models fit into that narrative?

Say I am running Kimi K3 locally and commit security patches to Git. What now? Should Codeberg fork Git pre-2020 and keep the vulnerabilities?

I don't know, should they? Unless I've missed something, Codeberg haven't mentioned anything like this. You seem to be the only one bringing this strange idea up. So why are you asking me?

Unless they are hypocrites, they should. Otherwise the whole moralizing first part of their blog post is meaningless.

And I am asking you because we are on an Internet forum and you responded to my comment.
