Hi Maxim,

This point was amended already to not be blanket: it mentions the
specific use of authoring leaving the door open to using an LLM for
exploration or similar activities, as Christine and others suggested.

Please double-check if you think the wording is ambiguous.

Yeah, I see where you’re coming from, and I too would rather avoid this
situation.

In fact, as it stands, fully vibe-coded software like Claude’s C
Compiler cannot be considered free software; this will probably be
clarified one way or another in the various jurisdictions, but that’s
where we are today.

Perhaps making it explicit along the following lines would help?

  3. Software where most of the code was authored or co-authored by
     genAI cannot be considered free software as of this writing, and
     thus **will not be packaged in Guix**.  Notable examples of such
     code include [Claude’s C
     compiler](https://github.com/anthropics/claudes-c-compiler/),
     [EmDash](https://github.com/emdash-cms/emdash), and
     [Neomacs](https://github.com/eval-exec/neomacs).

Thanks for your feedback,
Ludo’.
