Re: [RFC] Counter-Proposal -- Interpretation of DFSG on Artificial Intelligence (AI) Models

Just a small note on this individual point: I'm not sure how this could
work in practice. For non-free anything, by definition all we may have is
a binary blob without any source code. We therefore don't know what that
binary blob is. How would we know whether it contained an AI model so that
we know whether to apply this rule?

Obviously things that are not firmware should not go into the
non-free-firmware archive section. But I don't see how we have enough
information to rule out AI models embedded in firmware. I wouldn't expect
those to be common, but it seems likely that at least one will show up at
some point.
