Publishing a public App automatically applies the MIT License to user code, which is an irrevocable permissive license allowing any third party to use, modify, and distribute the code commercially. Users may not be aware of this automatic licensing.
“ Develop new features, algorithms and machine learning models, programs, and services;”
“Content published in public Apps may be used by Replit for improving the Service, including but not limited to developing or training large language models, both during and after the term of this agreement.”
Public App content can be used to train LLMs indefinitely, including after a user terminates their account. No opt-out mechanism is mentioned.

“If you prefer to not have others see your code, you can upgrade to make that code private. If you import code from GitHub and your repository is public, it will remain public by default on Replit. If you wish to import code from GitHub and your repository is private, you can upgr…”
Free-tier users have their code public by default, exposing potentially proprietary or sensitive code to all users. Privacy is a paid feature, creating a significant risk for free-tier users unaware of this default.
