I'm involved with a few projects that leverage the DCO [1]. Afaik, it's not been legally tested yet, but given all the open questions around copyright with LLMs, I assume a DCO sign-off on LLM-generated code would be a misrepresentation, and any project having received such commits would either need to rewrite those portions from-scratch (as done in other cases of infringing code) or simply remove them wholesale.

Put another way, till IP-implications have been figured out, I assume all LLM-generated code is radioactive for FLOSS projects.

[edit to clarify]: so documenting that a commit you're pushing includes code generated with an LLM will make maintainers' lives dramatically simpler. Please, and thank you!

All the best,
