A number of projects have been struggling with the question of which
submissions created by large language models (LLMs), if any, should be
accepted into their code base. This discussion has been further muddied by
efforts to use LLM-driven reimplemention as a way to remove copyleft
restrictions from a body of existing code, as recently happened with the Python chardet module. In
this context, an attempt to introduce an LLM-generated implementation of
the Linux ext4 filesystem into OpenBSD was always going to create some
fireworks, but that project has its own, clearly defined reasons for
looking askance at such submissions.
