Ahhh... Did you guys know that most of the Ports Collection's source tarballs are actually hosted on Github?
A lot of projects moved to Github precisely because because it's unsustainable for the smaller guys to maintain the metal it takes to host all that code.
Also - it looks like people are beginning to forget what it's like to cooperate with each other. I'm seeing a proliferation of one-dev shows. Used to be one-dev-show Linux distros (which get abandoned after a year or two), now it's one-dev-show for almost anything.
An AI won't give you a hard time for forgetting to run your code through CI/CD (a.k.a. Jenkins).
An AI won't give you a hard time for planting a backdoor in the code (like ban you from the project entirely).
An AI won't assume that you even understand the code that it generates. Heck, an AI won't even ask for your permission for anything.
As for any kind licensing for code - it's entirely an honor system, and a pretty toothless one at that, out there on the Internet. Code on any publicly accessible repo (be it Github, GitLab, codeberg or whatever) will be stolen from everyone left and right, because there's very little chance the author has the money (or other resources) to pick an actual fight in court over the license violation. Or is the author gonna pick a digital fight (like actually go learn some techniques beyond fork bombs) ?
