<p>Generative AI tools using large language models (LLMs) are widespread
31
+
in software development today. While we acknowledge that these tools
32
+
do have uses cases, LLMs engender harms to the pillars of Asahi Linux:
33
+
software freedom, the open-source community, the open Internet, the
34
+
environment, digital privacy, user consent, and software developers
35
+
themselves. For more information on the ethical issues of LLM use
36
+
in open source, we recommend reading <ahref=https://sourcehut.org/blog/2026-08-27-tos-changes-and-llms/>SourceHut’s policy</a></p><p>Furthermore, Asahi Linux relies on <ahref=https://asahilinux.org/copyright>clean room reverse engineering</a>
37
+
to ensure our work is legal. We have strict guardrails around
38
+
binary disassembly and decompilation, and we absolutely forbid
39
+
the use of leaked materials. While general questions around
40
+
LLMs and copyright remain unsettled, LLMs pose unique legal risks to
41
+
reverse engineering projects, as these systems are likely to violate
42
+
the clean room requirements and taint the resulting code. This risk
43
+
is amplified with “agentic” approaches, where the human may
44
+
be unaware of the reverse engineering process. In reverse engineering
45
+
and science <em>how</em> knowledge is obtained is just as important as the
46
+
knowledge itself.</p><p>Due to these legal and ethical issues, we broadly forbid the use of
47
+
generative AI tooling for material contributions to Asahi Linux.
48
+
Enforcement may vary depending on the seriousness of the infraction.
49
+
A GitHub issue drafted by an LLM may simply be closed with reference
50
+
to this policy. A contributor using an LLM to interpret a trace
51
+
made using the m1n1 hypervisor may be issued with a first and final
52
+
warning. A contributor found to have concealed extensive LLM use will
53
+
be banned immediately, particularly if they may have accessed unreleased
54
+
Apple material.</p></div></div></section><footerid=footer>
