I took the liberty to reach out privately. So it’s generally not forbidden. There’s some information available: https://www.apache.org/legal/generative-tooling.html
I’ll read through it aswell 😉 Chris Von: Yuan Tian <[email protected]> Datum: Sonntag, 1.

I agree that it’s best to consult with the foundation on this. Could you please advise on the best channel or process for consulting with Apache about this documentation? I'll also take a look at speckit—it sounds like a very useful framework for spec-driven development.
