Fedora adopts policy of accepting code written by LLMs |
 |
The Fedora project has announced it will start accepting contributions from developers who generated their submissions using large language models (LLM). This policy of accepting code from "AI" generation was announced by Aoife Moloney: "I wanted to share the outcome of today’s Council meeting regarding this proposal. After several weeks of discussion and incorporating feedback from our community into better revisions of the initial proposal, the Fedora Council has approved the latest version of the AI-Assisted Contributions policy formally. The agreed-upon version can be read in this ticket. You can read the full meeting transcript in the meeting log.
This is a hotly debated move by the Fedora team for a few reasons. One concern is that code generated by LLMs is based on code of unknown origin and licensing, meaning code submitted could be in violation of licenses (either of the original author or it could be incompatible with the receiving project). It's also a concern because AI models cannot hold copyright, making assigning ownership a legally tricky issue. Finally, AI-generated code tends to contain errors and security flaws which concerns users of applications which may be running AI-generated software. This has resulted in some calls to boycott the distribution until the policy is reversed.
