Ask HN: Looking for an open license, but not for AI model training
Hello HN!
I, like probably most of you, put a lot of code up on GitHub. With the advent of copilot, I have been growing a little bit uneasy about the software that I write being used for AI training purposes. I generally like releasing my code under an open license, but I would rather the consumer of my software be humans rather than an algorithm.
Is there a variant of the GPL or the MIT license that prohibits using code as part of a big corporate training set?
With that said, I am planning on moving most of my code over to SourceHut, as I like the overall philosophy a lot.
- andreareina 4y agoTake a look at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source-available_software https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source-available_software section Non-free licenses. I'd also take a look at the BSL. It requires the code be eventually open source but you can take inspiration. Also take a look at License Zero: https://licensezero.com/ https://licensezero.com/ N.B. No matter the license you use, you give GitHub a separate license to use your code.
