You're obviously not posting in good faith, but their docs are CC-BY-SA, and I comply with the terms. Bro.

No link to license: non-compliant. Less theft, less lying about compliance, more compliance please.

The link at the top of this page has the license. In what way can comments in this page, when they clearly state that content comes from the article, not be clearly linking to the article?

From that page: > Will my code be used for training AI models? > GitLab does not train generative AI models based on private (non-public) data. The vendors we work with also do not train models based on private data. So they will steal your code if it is public, ignoring license. Understood.

If a person can read it and learn from it, AI should be able to do the same.

That's a claim not an argument. Why do you believe this? Why should we?

Gitlab really should stop adding features: the thing is bloated with tons of menus and options that most users don't use or understand. PMs seem to need to do PM, stop them, listen to tech people.

please raise the price coz I need to pay for features that I don't need and don't use :)

They argue their use is transformative and thus the works are not derivatives.

Do you mind explaining further ?

Not much to explain, that's just how Fair Use doctrine is currently interpreted. It's not really morally right in this context ("greater good" rationalists will argue with me on that) but so far the courts haven't spanked anyone too hard for using that loophole.

If it's patented they can't use it... If it's a copy left license I would say that at that point anything made by the ai should be copy left as well. Just because you think a machine should have the right to use open source code doesn't mean the author or the license agree.

You can still read and learn from something patented. That is, after all, the whole point of a patent!

You can also read and learn from copyleft and use that learning elsewhere.

Remember, copyright does not apply to ideas. It applies to a specific individual instantiation. In theory.

There's a valid moral question here, in short: why? I care about helping other people. Helping some type of amoral entity that's usually controlled by another amoral for-profit entity: why would I help those?

Then use a license that say your code can't be used to train AI models.

Honestly I agree that in the current state of things, it's fair for them to train on public data as long as the license doesn't forbid it. I learned to code this way, so it makes sense to allow AIs to do the same, for now. If it's a problem, just use another license.

Back to self hosting my code. Side note: Gitlab is one of the few companies to provide a self hosted version of their VCS. https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/install/requirements.html Also gitea is a much more lightweight option and can use sqlite for db. Much easier to deploy on a rpi

If you're concerned, you should switch the license of your code, not really where you host it. As long as your license allows LLM/AI models to train on your code, why would you be mad that it does?
