GCC Bans AI-Generated Code Over 15 Lines

GCC, the core compiler behind Linux, has drawn a hard line against AI-generated code over 15 lines. This is a significant policy signal from a foundational open-source project, directly impacting how AI coding tools are used in Linux ecosystem contributions. It challenges the narrative of unconditional AI adoption and raises questions about legal accountability and code provenance. This precedent could influence other projects and affect tool workflows.
