This would effectively allow Codeberg to sidestep all of that philosophical stuff about ethical licenses and whatnot without reducing "freedom" (for lack of a better term) over a perhaps temporary problem: #2089

Codeberg can (and perhaps should) apply such restrictions or signals on a site-wide level; same way as it can for specific user agents or IP ranges that are deemed abusive.

TDM seems to have a broad definition and opting out may only be done by the rightholder. I don't think Codeberg is legally the rightholder for content hosted on Codeberg.

would it be possible to implement it as an organisation-wide setting (checkbox)?

That would work.

yeah, gusted is correct. Only the rightholders can opt out.

There is lot of discussion around TDM happening in the EU. The following link is a study (commissioned by the parliament) that looks at the problems caused by the DSM-Regulation and the TDM articles. I like it because it pretty much sums up my thought about the imbalance between creatives and the tech industry.
https://www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes/STUD/2025/774095/IUST_STU(2025)774095_EN.pdf

It is however just a study. It is not clear if and how lawmakers will actually implement changes.
I still recommend to read the summary part if you are interested in the current state of things.
