@ubernostrum@infosec.exchange I want to boost this but I'm worried that some other faction _within_ oracle will find out and kill this policy

@ubernostrum@infosec.exchange One of their points is that the contributor must own the code they contribute (i.e., have copyright over it), and they rightly point out that machine-generated code cannot be copyrighted.
