Hello, M. Zhou dijo [Sat, Apr 19, 2025 at 01:56:17PM -0400]:
=============================================================================== Proposal A: "AI models released under open source license without original training data or program" are not seen as DFSG-compliant. =============================================================================== The "AI models released under open source license without original training data or program", a particular type of files as explained above, are not seen as DFSG-compliant. Hence, they can not be included in the "main" section of the Debian archive. This proposal does not specify whether the "non-free" section of Debian archive can include those files.
Thank you very much, Mo Zhou. I am happy to sponsor this proposal as presented. We cannot magically extend DFSG-freeness to a binary we have no way to recreate (or modify) just because it serves as pre-training for a kind of software that is likely to be increasingly used and that changes many assumptions we have long had. This does not mean Debian will be shut aside from participating in the LLM world or other AI-related applications. As it has often happened, users interested in running non-DFSG-free models will be able to download them from other sources — or even from our own non-free section. – Gunnar.
