Treat public repos and docs as a shrinking, friction-prone input source.

Treat public repos and docs as a shrinking, friction-prone input source. Hosts like Codeberg formally refusing scraping are a sign this is a growing trend, so teams should not assume a frictionless commons. Focus on provenance and reciprocity: mirror important docs, record license lineage, and budget for reciprocal sharing or paid access. Do that now, before your retrieval or fine-tuning pipelines silently depend on an upstream that might close its gates.
