Linux Foundation's AI policy: "If any pre-existing copyrighted materials[...] are included in the AI tool’s output, [..] the Contributor should confirm that they have have permission from the third party owners" https://www.linuxfoundation.org/legal/generative-ai
"If"? Why not "whenever"? https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/38072#issuecomment-4105681567 https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3543507.3583199 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2949719123000213#b7 https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/2026/01/ai-memorization-research/685552/
And how would the contributor even be aware, should they research every snippet for hours?
Seems like an impossible policy, or am I missing something...?

@ell1e it's designed to *sound* like a reasonable policy while still allowing corporations to get their slop merged

Seems like LF is on mastodon. @lfeurope May I ask you about your input?

Apparently Linux is sloppening at full speed now... oh dear. I bet that's not going to introduce a higher rate of new hidden bugs at all. (/s) https://finance.biggo.com/news/202605111233_Linux_7.1-rc3_AI_Patch_Surge_New_Normal #Linux #FOSS #FLOSS #AI #noai #antiai #LLM #security #kernel
