    Honestly not an insane stance for an app repository. LLMs puke out what they ate, and there’s a perfectly reasonable concern that they might not have legal authorization to everything they trained on. I definitely wouldn’t want to get sued for hosting an app that is found to be in violation of a license agreement.

    Fair. Maybe a separate repo makes sense for the wild West of vibe apps, but flathub is really more focused on end users whom will absolutely commit a murder if they find out the documentation they have been using and failing to do what they want was just gas lighting them.
