It really isn't, don't you recall the "protests" against Microsoft starting to use repositories hosted at GitHub for training their own coding models? Lots of articles and sentiments everywhere at the time.
Seems to have died down though, probably because most developers seemingly at this point use LLMs in some capacity today. Some just use it as a search engine replacement, others to compose snippets they copy-paste and others wholesale don't type code anymore, just instructions then review it.
I'm guessing Ghostty feels like if they'd ban generated text/code, they'd block almost all potential contributors. Not sure I agree with that personally, but I'm guessing that's their perspective.
- rikschennink 10mo agoRight, that's what I'm thinking too (I'll update my statement a bit to make that more clear), but I constantly hear this perspective that it's all good for text and code but when it's media, then it's suddenly problematic. It's equally problematic for text and code.

- Applejinx 10mo agoI bet they aren't honoring the terms of the MIT license I use for my repos. It's pretty lenient and I bet they're still not compliant.
- embedding-shape 10mo agoAnd to be frank, why would they? Who would stop them? Would take a massive case for them to be compelled to be stopped, and no one seems to care about attribution anymore, or licensing at all in most cases. Companies are using torrents to download copyrighted material, stuff individuals gone to prison for before, and they hardly even get a slap on the wrist.
- Applejinx 10mo agoI see a downvote. All righty then: cite where they credited me. Go on :)
