They say "mostly" in the ToU.

It's also unlikely that, if a moderator reaches out and does find you violation - which they might not -, they'd immediately cut you off and delete your software. That's what billionaire-owned businesses do, not entities that want to be good stewards.

But at the same time, it *does* seem to have the intended effect: the people who don't think of their software as "not LLM generated" leave.

I'm ambivalent towards Codeberg's policy (like some parts, dislike some other parts, but it doesn't affect me at all since I don't use AI for codegen, or much of anything at all), but bad moderation is not something limited to big businesses. I've been to many websites where the volunteer moderators will delete your stuff for minor violations.

Good regulation consists of clear rules, "mostly" is just about as far from a clear rule as you can get.
