Codeberg, the nonprofit alternative to GitHub used to host FLOSS projects, will no longer host software that’s “mostly” AI-generated. A vote closed yesterday (22 July, 2026), passing 358 to 144 with 14 abstentions on roughly 50% turnout to stop hosting software that’s largely vibe-coded. A second motion, also passed, commits Codeberg to never training AI models on hosted code or user data. Not that it was ever likely to. A Terms of Use amendment now prohibits projects that “mostly consist of code written by” generative AI tools. In a blog post, Codeberg explains the economic need for a ban, explaining […] You’re reading Codeberg bans hosting ‘mostly’ AI-generated code, a blog post from OMG! Ubuntu.

In Brief:

– Two motions regarding “#artificial_intelligence” and Large Language Models (#LLMs) were voted on among Codeberg e. V. members and passed.
– We are promising to not use any of your data to train #LLM and explain what the planned Terms of Use change mean for ’#vibe-coded' projects.
– We believe that LLMs endanger the free/libre software #ecosystem as a whole.

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.

It seems like the #AI #crawlers learned how to solve the #Anubis #challenges. Anubis is a tool hosted on our #infrastructure that requires #browsers to do some heavy #computation before accessing Codeberg again. It really saved us tons of nerves over the past months, because it saved us from manually maintaining #blocklists to having a working detection for “real browsers” and “AI crawlers”.
