It is hard to get an unbiased discussion like it would have been in the 1990s. The Linux Foundation is corporate sponsored and even funds PyTorch, with all the exuberant "AI" language:

Kernel developers work for large "AI" booster corporations and may or may not experience indirect pressure. It is encouraging that there is still dissent despite all of this. Perhaps there should by anonymous proposals and secret voting.

The Linux Foundation's "AI" policy is sketchy. It allows content generated "whole or in part using AI tools".

Definitely code generated "in whole" cannot be copyrighted or put under the GPL, as discussed recently here, see the top comment for example:
