AI Policy
---------
Verilator follows the Linux Foundation recommendations regarding the usage
of Generative Large Language Model Artificial Intelligence (LLM-AI) tools
and agents for all contributions to the project, including source code,
test benches, and documentation.
AI assistants and automated agents are not permitted to sign off on
contributions. A human submitter is strictly responsible for reviewing,
verifying, and testing all AI-generated content. By submitting, the
contributor certifies that the generated content is effectively their work
product and adheres to project standards. This accountability is affirmed
when the human contributor signs the Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO)
as outlined in ``docs/CONTRIBUTORS``.
Contributors are encouraged to disclose the significant use of generative
AI tools in their commit messages or Pull Request descriptions to maintain
transparency.
Contributors must ensure that the terms and conditions of the generative AI
tool do not place any contractual restrictions on the tool's output that
are inconsistent with Verilator's open-source licenses, the project's
intellectual property policies, or the Open Source Definition.
If any pre-existing copyrighted materials (including third-party
open-source code or documentation) are included in the AI tool's output,
the contributor must confirm prior to submission that they have explicit
permission from the third-party owners to use, modify, and distribute those
materials under terms compliant with Verilator's licensing policies.
