A phenomenon I can not explain is the fact that this simple clean statement of a fairly obvious approach to AI assistance somehow took this long and Linus to state so cleanly.
Are there other popular repos with effectively this policy stated as neatly that I’ve missed?
The wording might be more or less lawyerly but the idea is fairly common, e.g. https://openinfra.org/legal/ai-policy (OpenStack).
We've had this for a while now: https://github.com/open-telemetry/community/blob/main/polici...
