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.

Not gonna be a long term solution. AI generated code is here to stay.

Why do they accept proprietary apps and no ai assisted ones… I don’t get it…

I guess it goes along with
there is an exception noted for “mature, well-maintained projects” but it’s not a guarantee.

However, this could also be left up to the user by labeling the applications accordingly, as is the case with proprietary applications. When it comes to quality, I’d say: you can produce poor-quality code even without AI, but it’s a lot more work 😀️
