GitHub gives you a lot for "free". In exchange they'll have no problem harvesting your data, and it would really surprise me if they aren't training on private repos too. I guess you can opt out and if they're opt out doesn't work oh well. On the other hand Codeberg doesn't let you create private repositories at all. So Copilot could still legally scrape your open source Codeberg repos. I don't see much of a point for most people. https://docs.codeberg.org/getting-started/faq/ https://docs.codeberg.org/getting-started/faq/ >If you need private repositories for commercial projects (e.g. because you represent a company or are a developer that needs a space to host private freelance projects for your clients), we would highly recommend that you take a look at Forgejo. Forgejo is the Git hosting software that Codeberg runs. It is free software and relatively easy to self-host. Codeberg does not offer private hosting services.

>On the other hand Codeberg doesn't let you create private repositories at all. are you sure about that? I'm fairly certain my repos on codeberg are all private but I could be mistaken.

  It is kinda incorrect and kinda correct. Codeberg allows you to create private repositories. However, their rules are clear that the intent of private repositories must be in support of Free software projects: https://docs.codeberg.org/getting-started/faq/#how-about-private-repositories%3F https://docs.codeberg.org/getting-started/faq/#how-about-pri..., which for many people is effectively not allowing private repositories.

    My reading is: Don't attempt to store your media (photos, music, videos, etc.) collection there, and you won't have any issues.

      I don't like how it reads differently based on perspectives, they should be crystal clear on what's allowed and what's not, but when they say '...unhappy about...' as a statement, it feels kinda amateur to me although I'm pretty sure the operators must be way capable than me lol.

        Totally agreed. I get the feeling they have not yet had to draw too many lines in the sand... Yet. So they're probably keeping it flexible until they have to really start swinging the hammer.

        This comes off as a please don’t make me tap the sign rule. Imagine a food pantry that says please don’t come here if you make over 100k, but 100k + earners keep coming. Maybe they don’t enforce the rule, but your obviously showing disdain for basic rules

You can have private repositories. It's discouraged because Codeberg is meant for FOSS projects, but it's totally possible.
