What's the best way to submit these patches? There is the bug
tracker,
there is this mailing list - what's the best way to contribute them?
I don't think that DNN-generated patches are compatible with the
LGPL in
the
first place, or it is at best very uncertain that they are. So
then you
cannot
contribute DNN-generated patches in any useful way at all.
If you have concrete legal analysis or case law that supports this
claim,
please share it.
If an LLM was trained on the leaked Microsoft Windows source code
and it
used elements of that code when asked to write an FFmpeg patch,
would that
patch be acceptable in your eyes?

We should forbid human written code?
I mean, that is in fact generally how situations like that are handled.
At least I have seen it multiple times on Projects like the Dolphin
Emulator that people who read the leaked Nintendo code were barred
from ever contributing again once found out, cause it would give
Nintendo legal ground to take down the project.
That seems a bit over-cautious, like banning all contributions where
LLMs have been involved.
The discussion was started with the topic of security patches in mind,
and I don't think that the typical 1-3 line patch for buffer overruns or
pointer double free can be considered copyrightable material. This is
different from implementing a new codec, or creating a new filter.
