According to internal discussions, EasyList has applied for the Claude for Open Source Program. At present, it is unclear how they intend to use Claude. It is also not known if EasyList maintainer Ryan Brown consulted with other members of the EasyList team.
The Claude for Open Source Program is a program by AI company Anthropic which offers 6 months of free Claude Max to qualifying open source maintainers.
Repositories must have 5,000+ GitHub stars and activity within the last three months, though exceptions can be granted. EasyList has 2900 stars on GitHub.

According to those same internal discussions, AdGuard is either considering it or has already submitted their application. The AdguardFilters repository has 4200 stars on GitHub.
The use of AI in open source projects is not uncontroversial, with projects sometimes facing pushback from the community.

@iampytest1@infosec.exchange Why so defensive about getting access to Claude? Having access to AI for Easylist or even non-Easylist use, the is no issues. Up to the maintainers wanting to use it, and see how it works for them. AI (Claude or Claude code) Is just another tool in the toolbox. Different than creating shitty AI PR's, I think we can agree that annoys the community. But asking for a time-limited free Claude Max account is nothing bad.
