[MapServer-dev] LLM tool policy for MapServer?

[Lime, Steve D (MNIT)]

Thanks for bringing this up Even. I'm +1... I think the GDAL approach is pretty pragmatic and appropriately so. I'd leave the mitigation paragraph in but reference the donation page referenced on the mapserver.org homepage. That is:

MapServer donations are one way your organization can help buffer the cost and disruption of LLMs in projects such as MapServer. The constrained resource is maintenance, not adding more code/capability. Donations financially support operation of MapServer as an ongoing open source software project, and without it, much of the activity MapServer users take for granted would simply not happen.

Hi,

It would have been surprised if we'd have been spared by that plague.
See https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/pull/7535

Adopt https://gdal.org/en/stable/community/ai_tool_policy.html s/GDAL/MapServer and minus the Mitigation paragraph since we don't have project-wide funding vehicle ?
