Thanks a lot for caring about that !!!! The problem I see here is on practical grounds: how can we define a safe area where we could accept contributions made with LLMs when we are not law specialists. If we manage to do it, it would be good enough for me. I may or may not agree with the rest but at least it would not create domino effects on projects/people/organizations that depend on Guix. With my GNU Boot co-maintainer hat, I've asked Zoë Kooyman for advice on the topic, more precisely on the part about the Threshold of originality. I've also asked gnu-prog-discuss as well. I also shared some of my concerns about not taking the time to wait for GNU, not waiting to get inputs from lawyers, floating legal theories without knowing much about it (that's my case at least), etc. Would it help if I also ask conservancy while putting the guix-devel list in copy?
