The GCC maintainers are free to accept legally insignificant contributions generated by an LLM as long as they meet the usual prerequisites for any contribution and the contribution is clearly marked. ... As an exception, the GCC maintainers are free to accept legally significant contributions to test cases, generated in whole or in part by an LLM." This largely aligns with the existing GNU policies of blocking AI/LLM contributions. The GCC stakeholders plan to revisit the policy in early 2027.
