Here is the policy again.
...snip....
a prominent concern with generative AI is the risk of reproducing portions
of materials that they were trained on, some of which may be copyrightable
subject matter. Thus, a recommended practice when using generative AI
tooling is to use tools with features that identify any included content
that is similar to parts of the tool’s training data, as well as the
license of that content.
Given the above, code generated in whole or in part using AI can be
contributed if the contributor ensures that:
1. The terms and conditions of the generative AI tool do not place any
restrictions on use of the output that would be inconsistent with the Open
Source Definition (e.g., ChatGPT’s terms are inconsistent).
2. At least one of the following conditions is met:
1. The output is not copyrightable subject matter (and would not be
even if produced by a human)
2. No third party materials are included in the output
3. Any third party materials that are included in the output are
being used with permission (e.g., under a compatible open source license)
of the third party copyright holders and in compliance with the
applicable
license terms
3. A contributor obtain reasonable certainty that conditions 2.2 or 2.3
are met if the AI tool itself provides sufficient information about
materials that may have been copied, or from code scanning results
1. E.g. AWS CodeWhisperer recently added a feature that provides
notice and attribution
To head off a question, yes, I intend to dig into the reason ChatGPTs by
openAI.com terms are inconsistent as I currently don't understand that
statement. Likely it is because of section 7, disclaimers, which would be
problematic if any dev were to contribute code without taking full
responsibility for the code itself.
