Sourcehut updates ToS to ban LLM training on its code
progval · hn · 2026-08-27
Sourcehut, a developer code hosting platform, has updated its Terms of Service to explicitly prohibit using code and user content hosted on the platform for training Large Language Models (LLMs). The move aims to protect user intellectual property and prevent AI companies from scraping code without consent. This follows the copyright controversies surrounding tools like GitHub Copilot, marking another clear restriction on such data scraping practices by a mainstream platform.
