Hi fellow devs, I think the discussion back in December (https://lists.apache.org/thread/wyt1kjr8j1s0x58hhc2cd6lprh2lrzdo) converged and it's time for a vote. The proposal is as follows:
When the content of a commit contains substantial portions that are derived from the output of an LLM or similar tool, a field 'Generated-by: ", shall be added to the footer of the commit that lists the tool(s) used to obtain the commit's contents. Committers shall also ensure that content generated in this way compiles with the ASF's Generative Tooling Guidance (https://www.apache.org/legal/generative-tooling.html), with particular attention paid to the license provided for the output of the tool, and whether or not it is clearly reproducing code that is already licensed. Furthermore, if a commit contains a mixture of generated and written code, it is greatly encouraged to use a comment containing "//Generated: " or the Java @Generated annotation to denote portions of code that are substantially the output of an LLM. The vote is open for 72 hours, or until the necessary number of votes (3 +1) has been reached. Please vote [ ] +1 accept this proposal for all new commits going forward [ ] 0 No strong feeling either way [ ] -1 do not accept this proposal because ... Thanks, - Ian
