The SciActive Human Contribution Policy is a free, general contribution policy meant to safeguard projects from the inherent legal and security risks of AI generated contributions.
Boy it’s amazing how people ignore the security track record of human authored code over the last 30 years. One need only look at the recent explosion of discovered vulnerabilities by AI.
AI tends to “discover” previously discovered vulnerabilities, or obvious vulnerabilities. It also tends to hallucinate vulnerabilities. I’m not saying it’s useless at discovering vulnerabilities, just that a human audit is better.
The policy also doesn’t say you can’t use AI to audit a code base, or even a single diff, so that point is moot.

Friend - your information is very out-of-date. It’s accelerating the discovery of vulnerabilities like crazy. I’m not saying we’ve hit singularity (or even that we will) but to brush it all off as “it only finds things we already knew about” is copium at this point.

This license is fud.
Nobody is ignoring anything.
It’s not a license, it’s a policy.

Well it’s a good thing I didn’t say that then. xD
