Just wanted to clarify something about Gentoo's AI policy:

  https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Council/AI_policy

because there seem to be misunderstandings on this point.

The AI policy isn't about software merely packaged by Gentoo (e.g 
the Linux kernel), but about the software that's part of Gentoo's 
infrastructure. The above page explicitly says:

> This policy affects Gentoo contributions and the official Gentoo

That said, there are currently issues around whether the output of 
AI is copyrightable, which obviously affects licensing; 
cf. e.g. this recent post of mine to gentoo-dev:
