@lanodan @dalias Think so too.
Using coccinelle would have also resulted in a reusable script to detect similar patterns in other parts of the kernel tree, maybe proving useful for others in the future.

@dalias @lanodan It is also setting a precedent for others, that's what worries me the most.

But yeah, I'm fully with you, it's a change that could have been made without further boiling the oceans.

@lanodan @dalias What strikes me here the most is that it isn't even mentioned in the commit message.
At this point it's is just negligent and intentional code stealing and copyright infringement.

@lanodan @dalias And mentioning lawsuits; the infamous SCO battle comes to mind.
History is really bound to repeat itself ..

But oh well, I always wanted to dive into the *BSDs. Maybe it's time to try it out, getting a head-start on things is never wrong.

@lanodan @dalias One of the articles closing sentences really says it all: "Levin said that he has not really thought about the problem, and assumes that, if an LLM produces code, he is free to make use of it.".
Guess that's the harsh reality we are heading with everyone hopping on the AI slop train - no one is thinking for themselves anymore about problems.

But at least it's only AUTOSEL *for now*, it seems.

@dalias It's sad. LLVM has actually been officially tainted: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/632151fbeea972f4aa3c14921eca1e45c07646f3

While digging, I found they actually *allow* AI slop: https://llvm.org/docs/DeveloperPolicy.html#ai-generated-contributions

Guess it's time to drop LLVM everywhere. I would consider using *any* of it a complete risk.
