Why are all the vibe coders so upset? Places that have mostly non-polluted projects will be fantastic for future model training. Codeberg doing this will mean that it will be scraped and part of all future models' learning input, surely? They have never cared and will never care about anyone's rights.
I'm upset because I strongly prefer rules to be unambiguous and enforceable. This is neither.
Oh no, someone on the internet is doing something you don't like in a place that doesn't affect you!
Actually it does affect me, as I do use Codeberg. And even if I didn't, your comment is pretty much equivalent to "mind your own business" and about as rude. We are all free to complain about things across the world, no?
Almost all software has alternatives, but there are not only comments but entire top level posts on HN complaining about software most everyday.
Just vibe-code an alternative.
No need to vibe-code anything. You can just use their official Forgejo fork from here: https://codeberg.org/Codeberg-Infrastructure/forgejo

They can't! They waiting for a token reset.
Vibecoders are implictly in favour of stealing content (code, art, books) so they get bothered by others taking a stance against that
I think AI has enabled a sort of inverse impostor syndrome, where many charlatans now beleive they are peers with people who actually understand and care about programming.
A policy like this threatens this delusion.
Because it's either plainly stupid virtue signalling aimed at the current strawman (AI bad!) or- if the legal justification stands- it's another symptom of European death by over-regulation, which should be judged as tragic.

This seems reductive. Do you think that code-hosting sites should be unable to determine their own standards and the projects they host, solely because they make you feel bad (that "you" presumably neither wrote nor understand a single line of code in your project)? Do you think a lack of clarity on copyright rules is actually "tragic"?
Or is the real "virtue signaling" always in the whiny comments because someone's rules on their own site hypothetically affected "you", for once?

Not at all! They can do what they want, exactly as I'm free to judge what they do.
And no, I'm not affected- I had never even heard of Codeberg before.
