Linux Foundation's AI policy: "If any pre-existing copyrighted materials[...] are included in the AI tool’s output, [..] the Contributor should confirm that they have have permission from the third party owners" https://www.linuxfoundation.org/legal/generative-ai
"If"? Why not "whenever"? https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/38072#issuecomment-4105681567 https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3543507.3583199 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2949719123000213#b7 https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/2026/01/ai-memorization-research/685552/
And how would the contributor even be aware, should they research every snippet for hours?
Seems like an impossible policy, or am I missing something...?

Ten years ago, Zephyr set out to rethink embedded development.
Today the Zephyr Project powers an ecosystem of developers and hardware platforms worldwide.
In a new blog, Hilary Carter, SVP of LF Research, reflects on the Foundation’s latest research study on the project’s past decade of open collaboration and embedded innovation.

My ✈️ had lots of D1 revenue customers from the Usual Suspects™. (SEA🛫AMS).
2 $8k D1 were bought full fare in last 48 hours. I woke up at T-36 & suddenly was 1 of 0 for upgrade.
I love that #UndoneCS
is the counter programming here in Europe against the #LinuxFoundation behemoth.
Also, registration here was like 100€ & online attendance is *FaiP*.

I am so excited about this event, I don't even care the LF companies bought all the seats.

The Linux Foundation secures $12.5 million to boost open source security:

(They should rather secure money for lobbying against the age verification laws, if they were truely for Linux, but of course they do nothing, because there are a bunch of big tech companies behind it...)
FosseryWeb progress report:
Started the regeneration of HTML cheathseets using page-builders, but didn't get far, because I had some other stuff to do, plus I have to deal with the age verification nonsense, work on a contingency plan in case things get too bad... I mean it's already too bad with Systemd laying the ground work...

Little did I know #LinuxFoundation & its wealthy cronies were the reason my gratis upgrade didn't clear. #LF's got an event starting tomorrow in Amsterdam. My seat mate told me.
It's funny — as I head to #UndoneCS to talk about how LF funds research that distracts us from real #FOSS &#copyleft — I sit in the cheap seats while the capitalist sleep in flat bed seats up front.
It's quite the metaphor.

AI ARCHITECTURES FOR LESS ENERGY CONSUMPTION(b)
(being continued from 1/05/24) We did the math on AI’s energy footprint. Here’s the story you haven’t heard. The emissions from individual AI text, image, and video queries seem small—until you add up what the industry isn’t tracking and consider where it’s heading next. AI’s integration into our lives is the most significant shift in online life in more than a decade. Hundreds of millions of people now regularly turn to chatbots for help with homework, research, coding, […]https://spacezilotes.wordpress.com/2026/03/21/ai-architectures-for-less-energy-consumptionb/
Behind every open source project is a community working together to solve real problems.
This month, the Linux Foundation highlights how that collaboration continues to grow across cloud, AI, and infrastructure.
