- Debian is holding a General Resolution (GR) to decide on the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) in contributions, with four competing proposals.
- Proposal A calls for a complete ban on LLM-assisted contributions to Debian, citing copyright, quality, community, and ethical concerns.
- Proposal B allows AI-assisted contributions if contributors meet conditions on legal compatibility, accountability, disclosure, and prior discussion.
- Proposal C requests that contributors avoid LLMs, mandates human-only drafting of messages, and allows project-level bans, treating violations as Code of Conduct issues.
