@jiub @niko NetBSD is the one with the strongest statement I think:

https://www.netbsd.org/developers/commit-guidelines.html

I think FreeBSD kept making noise about LLM policy but I couldn't find any formal guidance in place.

I am not sure about OpenBSD.

I don't know of any BSDs which embraced ✨the vibes✨ the same way Linux did though

@brib@bribstodon.xyz @niko@gts.niko.lgbt oh cool! i had to look up the post where i originally learned about openbsd's stance

https://swarm.coiloptic.org/brettm/p/1780882372.699734

that is a bit stronger than openbsd at least as of 2 months ago when the post was written since it was still being discussed on the mailing and not a formal policy document

brett couldn't find an official policy for freebsd either, though apparently they already have genai code. and dragonflybsd has major slop contributions apparently

so i guess the answer is, only netbsd and openbsd are both essentially slop free but netbsd has a more formal policy

yes that's still the current status afaik. freebsd did have a temp ban ~mid 2025 but seems to have been swept under the carpet, even some freebsd devs did not know about it. freebsd default filesystem is zfs which is developed in a tree shared with linux and other os, so slop gets pulled in that way. tmux allows slop so all os get that, unless they ship with screen instead i guess. llvm allows slop so all os get that, unless they compile with gcc, which so far has none, awaiting for some subcommittee to make the decision for them.
