### AI-Policy
|
||||
|
||||
Based on similar policies from
|
||||
[Fedora](https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/council-policy-proposal-policy-on-ai-assisted-contributions/)
|
||||
and from [OpenInfra](https://openinfra.org/legal/ai-policy) Weston has a
|
||||
dedicated [AI-policy](ai-policy.md) related to that. Please read that before
|
||||
opening an MR.

# AI-assisted contributions policy
|
||||
|
||||
This document defines how artificial intelligence (AI) and machine-assisted
|
||||
tools may be used when contributing to Weston. It applies to all code,
|
||||
documentation, and derivative works under the Weston project.
|
||||
|
||||
AI tools can help with productivity, but they cannot replace understanding.
|
||||
Contributors remain fully responsible for what they submit. The goals of this
|
||||
policy are to preserve code quality, maintain license compliance, and ensure
|
||||
that human accountability remains central.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Scope
|
||||
|
||||
This policy applies to all Weston contributions:
|
||||
- Source code and headers
|
||||
- Documentation and comments
|
||||
- Commit messages, changelogs, and design notes
|
||||
- Derived configuration or data files included in the repository
|
||||
|
||||
The policy covers both human-written and AI-assisted material that becomes part
|
||||
of the Weston source tree or its official documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. Human responsibility
|
||||
|
||||
- Each contributor is responsible for the correctness, clarity, and license
|
||||
compliance of their work.
|
||||
- AI tools may assist, but they do not author. The human submitting the change
|
||||
must understand every part of it.
|
||||
- Contributors must be able to explain the logic, intent, and expected behavior
|
||||
of any code they contribute.
|
||||
|
||||
Do not submit unverified AI output. Submissions that the author does not
|
||||
understand will not be accepted.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. Disclosure of AI use
|
||||
|
||||
If a contribution includes material generated or heavily assisted by AI, this
|
||||
must be disclosed clearly in the commit message or merge request description.
|
||||
|
||||
Use one or both of the following trailers:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
- AI-Assisted: yes
|
||||
- AI-Tool: <tool name, version>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Minor or incidental AI use, such as spell checking or text reflow, does not
|
||||
require disclosure.
|
||||
|
||||
Disclosure is for transparency, not judgment.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Review and maintainability
|
||||
|
||||
- Reviewers treat AI-assisted changes like any other submission: they must be
|
||||
correct, readable, maintainable, and consistent with Weston’s architecture.
|
||||
- If the AI-generated content is unclear, unidiomatic, or hard to maintain,
|
||||
it must be rewritten before acceptance.
|
||||
- Code and documentation merged into Weston must remain understandable by humans.
|
||||
- “AI said so” is not an acceptable justification for a design or implementation
|
||||
decision.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 5. Licensing and origin
|
||||
|
||||
Weston is licensed under the MIT License.
|
||||
|
||||
All submitted content, including AI-assisted material, must be compatible with
|
||||
the MIT license and must not include any restricted or incompatible material.
|
||||
|
||||
AI tools may produce content resembling third-party sources. It is the
|
||||
contributor’s duty to ensure that no copyrighted or restricted code is copied
|
||||
or derived. When in doubt, rewrite manually or omit the section.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 6. Governance and project processes
|
||||
|
||||
AI must not make or automate community or governance decisions, including:
|
||||
|
||||
- Code of Conduct enforcement
|
||||
- Grant or funding proposals
|
||||
- Maintainer or leadership appointments
|
||||
- Talk selection or public communications
|
||||
|
||||
These require human judgment.
|
||||
|
||||
AI may be used for auxiliary purposes such as spam filtering, formatting, or
|
||||
static analysis, provided that humans retain final authority.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 7. Weston data and model training
|
||||
|
||||
Weston’s source code, documentation, and related materials are licensed under
|
||||
the MIT license. External parties using Weston data to train AI models must:
|
||||
|
||||
- Respect the MIT license and attribution requirements.
|
||||
- Avoid implying Weston’s endorsement of any trained model.
|
||||
- Provide clear provenance and licensing information for derived models.
|
||||
|
||||
Aggressive scraping of Weston infrastructure is forbidden. Use official
|
||||
mirrors or published tarballs when possible.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 8. Violations and corrections
|
||||
|
||||
If a submission violates this policy (for example, undisclosed AI use or
|
||||
license incompatibility):
|
||||
|
||||
1. The maintainer may request clarification or rewriting.
|
||||
2. The change may be rejected or reverted.
|
||||
3. Repeated or intentional violations may affect contributor trust.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 9. Policy maintenance
|
||||
|
||||
This policy evolves with technology. Proposals for change should be submitted
|
||||
as patches to `doc/ai-policy.md` and discussed on the proper channels
|
||||
(mailing list or github MR).
|
||||
|
||||
Consensus and clarity come before automation.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Summary
|
||||
|
||||
- Humans decide; AI assists.
|
||||
- Understand what you submit.
|
||||
- Disclose significant AI help.
|
||||
- Respect MIT licensing.
|
||||
- Keep Weston readable and maintainable.
|
||||
- This policy has been generated by an AI tool, and it based on
|
||||
https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/council-policy-proposal-policy-on-ai-assisted-contributions/ and from
|
||||
https://openinfra.org/legal/ai-policy.
