Codeberg Bans AI Slop

I know this is old news, and the furor seems to have died down, but Codeberg has banned slop from AI products. One announcement is here: https://pivot-to-ai.com/2026/07/24/codeberg-bans-ai-slop-software-projects/#more-8559

The gist of the change is here:

You must not share projects that mostly consist of code written by “generative AI”-tools (including services such as Claude, OpenAI Codex). Such projects having an unclear copyright status (see requirements § 2 (1) 1 and § 2 (1) 3) and furthermore have little safeguards to ensure that they do not include harmful code (c.f. § 2 (1) 5).

I’m glad to have moved about 6 months ago all of the projects I care about from Github to Codeberg. Yeah, you’re not guarateed to be accepted for an account at Codeberg, but if you get accepted, at least your code is safe from being abused by the platform.
