- Be a huge company
- Buy one of the biggest FOSS hosting websites
- Train AI model on code from your purchase
- Paywall and restrict access to the model for everyone except you
- Laught at Stallman and his lifework
- Profit
Let’s be honest this is how it actually usually plays out:
-
Be a huge company
-
Make your employees sign an NDA
-
Make your code closed source
-
Use GPL code and not give a shit because you’re a huge company with a legal team bigger than your Dev team
-
No. To bypass GPL you have to be a big company, not respect the GPL (not respecting the law is called risk management) and gain more than what you would owe if someone sues you
Wait is Github enshittifying already? I thought that was on next year’s schedule?

Well, time to migrate to codeberg
Tell me more
Codeberg is a collaboration platform providing Git hosting and services for free and open source software, content and projects. Codeberg is maintained by the non-profit organization Codeberg e.V., based in Berlin, Germany. For them, supporting the commons comes first. They are more than just Git hosting: their community is comprised of like-minded developers, artists, academics, hobbyists and professionals. No tracking. No third-party cookies. No profiteering. Everything runs on servers that they control. Your data is not for sale.
Sounds pretty good.
