GCC Steering Committee Adopts AI Contribution Policy
Key point
GCC will not accept legally significant contributions generated by LLMs.
Details
The GCC Steering Committee has adopted an AI Contribution Policy, accepting the recommendation of the GCC AI Policy Working Group.
Under the policy, the project will reject the following contributions:
- Legally significant contributions generated by an LLM or derived from LLM-generated content
- By GNU Project standards, a legally significant contribution roughly means 15 or more lines of code or text in terms of copyright.
However, GCC maintainers may make an exception to accept LLM-generated test cases.
Using LLMs for research, analysis, bug finding/reporting, patch review, and similar tasks is permitted, but the resulting output must not be included in the actual contribution content. The GCC Steering Committee stated that it may periodically review and change the policy in the future.
