11/19/2021, 8:39 PMI love gitlab and used to host most of my shit there, but I moved to GH because all the open source is happening there (thus easier forking). I'd be interested to hear your reasons for going the other way?

Well to start.
GTK-KT was never meant to get into such a large project, so I just created a repo quickly on GH at that time.
I used GH since before Microsoft took control, and when it did I was a bit irked but nothing had yet to change.
When Microsoft introduced GH CoPilot, that was a snap point for me. It trained itself on code found on github without permission, was an absolute violation of licensing for countless organizations and individuals.
GL is something that I know is safer currently, and if ever needed, I can self host a GitLab instance with a registered domain as well.

Then deleting the GH copy

11/19/2021, 8:51 PMWait, is copilot learning from private repos too??

11/19/2021, 8:53 PMUnknown to me, but likely as private repositories doesn't mean admin's cannot access them.

11/19/2021, 8:53 PMLearning from public repos is kinda ok, because i see it as an equivalent to SEO

11/19/2021, 8:54 PMNot when those repositories are GPL +

11/19/2021, 8:54 PMEspecially so when they are AGPL

11/19/2021, 9:08 PMHow are those different from apache 2? Genuinely curious.

11/19/2021, 9:09 PMGPLv3 and AGPL have a dependency clause.
Software built on GPLv3 and AGPL code must also be GPLv3 and AGPL
Clocks
11/19/2021, 9:09 PMThat is why all gnome apps also have the same licensing
Clocks
11/19/2021, 9:10 PMIts also why Trumps "Truth" social medium has been put under fire for using mastodons code base (which is AGPL)
