• some projects’ policies state that they would rather not have my patch because I used an LLM in the creation of it.

    How much does this bother you? Enough to maintain a fork? It is quite interesting that people complain about this in place of doing what they are allowed to.

    • In this specific case? Yes, maintaining a private fork is straightforward. Yay git! We’re pinned to a specific version anyway for reasons.

      It doesn’t bother me at all. That’s the joy of open source. I’ve got access to the source, I can fix bugs and add features if I want to. The project may not want my patches but I don’t need them to accept my patches in order to accomplish my goals. Like you said, it’s one of the things I’m allowed to do.
