NetBSD has <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/@netbsd/112446618914747900" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">updated</a> its commit policy to reject AI codes attributed to ChatGPT or Copilot, calling them tainted because of their licensing issues.&nbsp;

This policy prevents code from being included with incompatible licenses in the NetBSD codebase. The core developer from NetBSD stated that the new policy would eliminate all licensing problems in the codebase, and&nbsp;code integrity would remain the best.

In updates, the guideline states that each AI code generated should be regarded as Vandals until a decision from the main developers is made. The decision is made through an approval process in which a reviewer participates.&nbsp;
AI training data is usually undifferentiating, which increases the inherent risk of being used on code made available under a liberal licensing model and a more strict license.

NetBSD’s decision to classify AI-courted code as contaminated is a deliberate move to avoid inadvertently incorporating non-compliant code into the project, thus preserving the latter’s strict adherence to its license standards.

NetBSD intends to prevent the naivety of non-compliant code insertion and enforce the project’s compliance with strict licensing standards. The tool digs through various sources, and as per the NetBSD senior maintainer, they are careful not to inadvertently include other people’s code.
Facebook’s decision indicates the fears that the software community is watching the influence of artificial intelligence on code that was previously developed by open-source. While LLMs have been gaining momentum as AI becomes popular, the issue of legality and ethics about integrating AI-generated content into mass public projects is undergoing constant evaluation.&nbsp;

NetBSD’s decision on this issue echoes the industry’s bigger worries about AI-generated content, both its technical and ethical features. This policy sets a precedent for other projects to include similar measures in their plans, thus helping technologists fulfill the need for constant innovation and ethical obligations.&nbsp;
AI tools proponents claim to significantly speed up the development process, tasked with no more boring writing work, but critics express legal uncertainties, among other things, by licensing conflicts.
