Hi everyone, I would like to know if there is an official policy or ongoing discussion within the TeX Live / CTAN community regarding the distribution of packages that have been written, either completely or partially, using generative AI tools. To give a concrete example, I am currently developing a package called "pourbaix", which aims to facilitate the drawing of Pourbaix diagrams. Part of its code has been generated with the help of AI, and the repository can be found here: https://github.com/cjorssen/pourbaix The package is still under active development, but as I am considering its potential future distribution on CTAN and inclusion in TeXLive, I would like to know if there are any specific guidelines, restrictions, or disclosure requirements for authors who submit packages containing AI-generated code or documentation. Thank you in advance for your time and for any insights you can provide. Best regards, -- Christophe
