So at least the following things should change: 1. non-free/undistributable code will be acceptable in main as long as there is more code to disable that 2. LLM-generated code is okay as long as it is not marked as LLM- generated 3. maintainers of the Linux kernel, Python interpreter, ... will be required to rebase a ever-growing set of patches and resolve all conflicts, including reverting typing changes in all new patches. I expect you have no time to help with the latter? At least (1.) seems to require a change to DFSG and/or Social Contract. Ansgar
