    @hipsterelectron @alexandra I'm not even able to contribute or part of this community, and I can see that this is wildly inconsistent:

    "You are suggesting to subject the contributors to some examination of the principles they uphold, the ethics of their day-to-day activities, their views on matters of policy and important international events, etc."

    Um, yes?

    "examination of the principles they uphold" = do they uphold the principles of the fsf?

    "examination of ... the ethics of their day-to-day activities" = do they abide by the terms of the relevant software licenses?

    "examination of ... their views on matters of policy and important international events" = do they support policies in line with fsf goals?

    But also, um, no?

    The problems with incorporating LLM-generated content include not only externalities but potential future reliance on a contributor base that has lost or never gained the skills to write and evaluate code, on the degree to which the code in that codebase is or is not protected, and on the degree to which quality control processes are actually capable of ensuring quality. Those concerns have nothing to do with examining the principles, ethics, or attention to international events of the contributor.

    Wow.
