That's a fair point. I think we understand what "Any package or program that gets installed as part of the *plain DOS* installation" means, but one reason for this AI policy is to make it clear to others. So this should have some added text that explains what that means, in plain language.
I can change it to something like this: <p><strong>Scope:</strong> Any package or program from the core parts of FreeDOS: the kernel, command.com, append, chkdsk, debug, edit, fc, graphics, himem, label, mem, … and other standard "DOS" commands.This also includes other packages that get installed with a <q>plain DOS</q> installation, such as the package manager and supporting tools.</p> On Wed, Jun 17, 2026 at 5:54 PM Mercury Thirteen wrote: > > To be clear, we should probably also specify whether this applies > strictly to code which is part of FreeDOS itself 9as has been indicated > here on the mailing list) or code for *any* program in any of the repos. > > I think we here all pretty much know the answers to those points, > but it would help to make the outside world aware, too. > > > On Wednesday, June 17th, 2026 at 6:21 PM, Jim Hall wrote: > > > Hi everyone > > > > I've created a page on www.freedos.org with a draft of the AI policy. > > This captures the discussion here -- basically, the consensus seems to > > be that the draft I originally shared (5/24) looked good, but the > > feedback was we should not allow docs to be wholly written by AI, but > > it's fine for folks to use AI for spelling & grammar. > > > > https://www.freedos.org/about/ai/ > > > > > > This is a temporary page for review only.
