  "textContent": "The Software Freedom\nConservancy (SFC) has announced the release of its recommendations\nfor using LLM-backed generative AI systems for FOSS\ncontributions. The recommendations were created by the SFC and volunteers from the free-software community.\n\n> The recommendations reflect the extremely difficult dilemmas that these systems pose for FOSS contributors. SFC and its volunteers understand that FOSS developers are approaching LLM-gen-AI from a variety of perspectives. The recommendations offer practical assistance to minimize the damage caused by using proprietary systems, whether FOSS contributors reject LLM-gen-AI or choose (voluntarily or by employer mandate) to use them.\n>\n> These recommendations are best practices (but not definitions or requirements) that SFC and its volunteers formulated after careful study of the growing LLM-gen-AI use among FOSS contributors. SFC will follow these recommendations with a series of supporting materials, including documents, online tutorials, public Q&As, podcasts, and other community engagement. We will routinely refine our recommendations and continue to support FOSS contributors as they navigate this difficult landscape.",
