The Free Software Foundation (FSF) is exploring the implications of large language models (LLMs) on free software licensing, particularly regarding copyrightability and potential licensing issues of LLM-generated code. In a recent session, FSF representatives discussed the challenges posed by non-free models and the necessity for metadata and transparency in code submissions. The FSF is currently surveying free-software projects to better understand their positions on LLM output and is considering updates to the Free Software Definition rather than a new GPL version.
