The result will be added to the Contributors Guide in the document repository. And indeed it’s what I read in FreeBSD Report Second Quarter <https://www.freebsd.org/status/report-2025-04-2025-06/>. Therefore, it appears to me better to directly point to official FreeBSD material. However, I’m not able to find this FreeBSD policy. I mean, it’s one year old now, so what is the output of their investigation? If there is currently no output, mentioning FreeBSD here is misleading and thus it should be removed. However, it appears to me worth to mention NetBSD which makes it clear <https://www.netbsd.org/developers/commit-guidelines.html>. > * LLVM > https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/main/llvm/docs/AIToolPolicy.md To me, considering the Pledge, the item #2 is still unclear. I propose to clarify by reusing “Extractive Contributions” from LLVM policy. For instance, 2. We kindly ask contributors to respect this choice and not use LLMs for their contributions to Guix. Nevertheless, code claimed to be produced in whole or in part by genAI **may be incorporated if the contributor has a valid copyright claim on the code** and if the contribution isn’t some extractive contributions. Where “Extractive Contributions” would be detailed in a specific subsection outside the Pledge. Well, something also reusing the Accountability from Mastodon <https://github.com/mastodon/.github/blob/main/AI_POLICY.md>. Cheers, simon
