Clankerfree is a new initiative indexing software projects that self-certify as being created without generative AI or LLM assistance. Major open-source projects like NetBSD, Zig, GNU Image Manipulation Program, and SourceHut have policies against AI-generated code and are associated with the movement.
Background
The open-source community has seen growing debate over AI-generated code, with several major projects enacting policies to exclude or flag LLM-assisted contributions. This reflects broader concerns about code quality, attribution, and community autonomy.
