The Software Freedom
Conservancy (SFC) has announced
the release of its recommendations
for using LLM-backed generative AI systems for FOSS
contributions. The recommendations were created by the SFC and
volunteers from the free-software community.

The recommendations reflect the extremely difficult dilemmas that
these systems pose for FOSS contributors. SFC and its volunteers
understand that FOSS developers are approaching LLM-gen-AI from a
variety of perspectives. The recommendations offer practical
assistance to minimize the damage caused by using proprietary systems,
whether FOSS contributors reject LLM-gen-AI or choose (voluntarily or
by employer mandate) to use them.

These recommendations are best practices (but not definitions or
requirements) that SFC and its volunteers formulated after careful
study of the growing LLM-gen-AI use among FOSS contributors. SFC will
follow these recommendations with a series of supporting materials,
including documents, online tutorials, public Q&As, podcasts,
and other community engagement. We will routinely refine our
recommendations and continue to support FOSS contributors as they
navigate this difficult landscape.
