Morning all,

Due to language which caused confusion amongst reporters, posters and commenters. I've revised Rule 7 to be a bit more specific in what is and isn't allowed. Essentially what it boils down to is this:

Did AI explain a code snippet to you? Allowed.
Did AI write code for you? Not allowed.

This subreddit does NOT allow software created by Generative AI and Vibe-coded software. Why? Please read our wiki page (https://www.reddit.com/r/freesoftware/wiki/generative-ai)

Allowed:
- Write documentation
- Debug software (Analysis/Explanation Only)
- Analyze codebase
Not Allowed:
- AI Assistance beyond what is mentioned above
- All or part of the application being generated by AI

Effective immediately, new software submissions will receive a reply from AutoMod asking for the following information:

1. A link to the source repository,
2. A link to the license or a statement of the license (which can be verified by visiting the source repository),
3. If AI was used in the creation and to what extent

Post authors who fail to respond to the comments attached to their posts will have their posts removed.

This should help alleviate some mod work and streamline things a bit instead of needing to manually go into each repository and verify license and AI use and then manually approving/removing.

Questions? Drop 'em in the comments.
