[$] Debian debates AI models and the DFSG
The Debian project is discussing a General Resolution (GR) thatwould, if approved, clarify that AI models must include training datato be compliant with the DebianFree Software Guidelines (DFSG) and be distributed by Debian asfree software. While GR discussions are sometimes contentious, thediscussion around the proposal from Debian developer MoZhou hasbeen anything but-there seems to beconsensus that AI models are not DFSG-compliant if they lack trainingdata. There are, however, some questions about the exact language andquestions about the impact the GR will have on existing packages inthe Debian archive.
