Come now, you can have guidelines that aren't enforceable but which you expect people to adhere to. After all, you asked them to adhere to them, and they're (hopefully) not arseholes.

I doubt the people that think it’s fine to not respect NetBSD ethos are even capable of contributing anything to it so I’d say the project is fine.

Sufficiently complex code is the one most susceptible to coming from a proprietary solution

But are coding large language models in the wild trained on proprietary code bases?

If you don't know, it's a yes

I don’t believe in unicorns, but maybe they exist.

There are source availleble projects on GitHub but BSD license is not compatible with GPL and for sure there is ton of GPL code in the LLMs.

The only solution I can think of is too train LLMs on BSD compatible code to be used on BSD projects, GPL compatible code to be used on GPL projects etc.

See below link were copilot was caught stealing code and prove that it is memorizing and reproducing rather then learning concepts and then generating original code.
