[MapServer-dev] LLM tool policy for MapServer?

[Even Rouault]

Pull request queued at

The copying&pasting from GDAL text revealed we don't have an explicit 
code of conduct document. I suppose the OSGeo default one applies. So 
I've kept the reference to that ghost code of conduct for now, pending a 
potential more explicit future one.

> 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.
