Should we note that code generated by llm is of unknown license if any even
applies ?

I&#39;m unsure about the &quot;Avoid proprietary tools&quot; section. Say i=
f someone<br>
uses one of the<br>
proprietary (but free to use) IDEs from JetBrains, are we here just<br>
encouraging this<br>
person to try open source alternatives, or are we really asking the<br>
contributor to do<br>
so (like in &quot;Check the licenses&quot; or &quot;Be patient&quot;)?<br>
<br>
Or maybe it only applies if the contribution would introduce<br>
proprietary tools in the<br>
build process or future development work? E.g., when the contribution<br>
contains an art<br>
whose source format need a proprietary tool to edit.<br>
