Contributions to FreeBSD: LLMs and AI

From <https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#when-not-to-use-a-pull-request> for the src tree:

"Do not submit a pull request for … changes generated by AI tools without substantial human review and validation."

Comparable lines from a July 2025 edition:

@grahamperrin @dch @krishean has this been resolved in a consistent way? I see two open diffs (D50650 and D54817) that have different language. There’s also a comment in one (https://reviews.freebsd.org/D50650#1253032) that mentions another diff that no longer seems to be public. Personally I prefer the language in D50650 and I’m concerned that the language in D54817 (“Consider licensing and the AI service terms, including any attribution requirements.”) allows too much wiggle room for people to contribute code for which they can’t be 100% certain of provenance and/or ownership. Effectively: “LOL I considered it and decided I didn’t care.”

@fedward not yet, but I think this will progress nicely in the next couple of months @grahamperrin @krishean
