It's pretty much the same policy as the Linux kernel, but still disappointing.

I've been dumping things left and right as they decide Claude is their buddy, and that won't stop because the same idiots who dropped decent init systems for that RedHat tech bro's mess decided not to block it.

    At least the kernel requires disclosure of AI use. The new Debian "policy" doesn't even require that.

    I am most concerned about that. If the legal position on copyright of AI code is decided in the future an audit or tracking of AI contributions in the codebase may be necessary to understand risk and exposure.

    Granted you can't make people disclose AI assistance with 100% accuracy but I would expect a majority to comply.

    The Linux kernel project forces LLMs on all the devs.
