    Yeah I don’t understand why they don’t have a codeberg or similar that they host themselves.

      How would that help? If you release something as GPL code, you cannot prevent it from being used to train a model, no matter where it’s hosted.

        There’s a difference between handing something to someone and leaving it somewhere they happen to be able to take it from.

          There’s nothing in GPL that would forbid it. Only distribution without code publication is forbidden.

            mhm, and how would the distribution inside an LLM work? Are those code snippets CoPilot et al produce come with dedicated license sections?

            And regarding how it would help selfhosting the code: it wouldn’t be on the GITHub servers owned by Microsoft, which owns/operates CoPilot. Its akin to feeding the LLM directly by pushing it to their servers.
