I'm building a list of #slopfree software projects to help developers, businesses and software users make choices about their software usage.

[swannodette@mas.to]

@sitcom_nemesis perhaps worth noting that pretty much any GPLed thing is likely to be slop free. You either need a restrictive license or a tight governance model (like BSD OSes). Perhaps there's evidence otherwise but I don't think so at this point. A lot of permissive projects are unsurprisingly adopting vibecoding.

[sitcom_nemesis@tech.lgbt]

@swannodette I wish! Linux is GPL but explicitly allows AI contributions: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/process/coding-assistants.rst#attribution

[swannodette@mas.to]

@sitcom_nemesis yeah sorry I meant GPL projects who've assigned copyright to FSF, the governance bit!

[sitcom_nemesis@tech.lgbt]

@swannodette Assigned copyright to FSF? What do you mean?

[swannodette@mas.to]

@sitcom_nemesis https://www.fsf.org/blogs/licensing/FSF-copyright-handling - and FSF governs what is permissible https://lwn.net/Articles/1040888/

@sitcom_nemesis you should add Clojure and all of its core libraries see https://gist.github.com/richhickey/ea94e3741ff0a4e3af55b9fe6287887f - all core libs assign copyright to him and he's not going to accept LLM code https://github.com/clojure

@sitcom_nemesis might be worth talking to @the about their No-AI list? https://noai.starlightnet.work Would be a shame to duplicate effort!

[alexia@shrimp.starlightnet.work]

@srtcd424 @the @sitcom_nemesis I'd be down!

@swannodette I wouldn't be surprised about this correlation, I believe the appeal of permissive licenses is that they are corporate friendly and LLMs are certainly corporate friendly. Similarly, GPL licenses are corporate-unfriendly and more community-based and I think community-based projects tend to be more hostile to LLMs.

But I think this is all correlation, not necessarily causation
