Can I volunteer to optimize scikit-image?

discuss.scientific-python.org

I tried contributing some AI Generated optimizations to core Scientific Python packages like NetworkX and Scikit-image. But they were rejected since they were created from AI models.

There is grey area that the new code might cause licensing issues if it derives from other licensed code. But does that mean that no open source code with open license can accept code from AI codegen models? That seems excessive.

Have you contributed AI generated code to open source projects that you don't own? Have you received any such pushback?

It looks like they were rejected because the project has licensing concerns about the generated code, not, strictly speaking, because they were 'created from AI models'.
