This is a bad idea. Now we don’t know who actually wrote the code, and therefore who owns (or doesn’t own) the copyrights. This is really, exceptionally stupid.

    The mailing list change the article is referring to: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20261009083137.3-1-sashal@kernel.org/

    I wonder if the original rule was too broad and it was leading to noise? I'd prefer to have attribution when code is written, but not in all cases

    If someone uses an LLM to brainstorm or track down a bug, then confirms it and writes the fix by hand, adding attribution might end up being noise.

    Meanwhile if someone uses the LLM to write the fix, then that should get attribution
