Talk of a NoAI fork of the Linux kernel

Free software supporters are discussing whether contributors could band together to fork the Linux kernel and maintain a 'NoAI' version that bans code generated by large language models. The argument is that Linus Torvalds and the kernel's leadership could not prevent such a community split if enough developers backed it. It reflects wider unease in open source circles about AI-generated code entering foundational projects.

Why now: Ongoing debates about AI-generated code being accepted into major open source projects like the Linux kernel
