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...?
