NetBSD takes stand against AI contributions due to license concerns |
 |
The NetBSD project is taking a stance against code submissions written by AI chatbots which have been trained on unknown code. More specifically, since the licenses on code used to train AI coding aisstants is often unknown or restrictive, the output of these AI tools may be considered derivative works and covered under restrictive licenses. The NetBSD team wants to make sure no code tainted by closed source or restrictive licenses can be merged with the NetBSD operating system. The NetBSD commit guidelines have been updated to include this paragraph: "If you commit code that was not written by yourself, double check that the license on that code permits import into the NetBSD source repository, and permits free distribution. Check with the author(s) of the code, make sure that they were the sole author of the code and verify with them that they did not copy any other code. Code generated by a large language model or similar technology, such as GitHub/Microsoft's Copilot, OpenAI's ChatGPT, or Facebook/Meta's Code Llama, is presumed to be tainted code, and must not be committed without prior written approval by core." |
