[License-review] Adapting the license-review process to AI

[Stefano Maffulli]

Dear license-review volunteers,

It is likely that OSI will be receiving requests to approve new licenses,
agreements, and terms of use/distribution for open source AI works. These
documents may apply, not just to copyrighted software, but to non-software
artifacts like datasets, documentation, and model parameters (aka weights).

To be clear, the OSI has no intention to be evaluating AI systems for
compliance to the Open Source AI Definition. This is only about reviewing
licenses and other legal documents, whether intended to accompany a
complete AI system or the individual components of AI systems.

The questions for this group:
- Do you believe that this group should be the one to review the new
documents, or should a separate group be created for it?
- What new challenges do you expect to see in reviewing these licenses?
- Do you recommend any changes to the process in light of potential new
challenges?

Thanks,
Stef
