AI‑free open‑source OS movement

A small but explicit project — AlpineBSD — is attempting to build an operating system that formally rejects any use of generative AI outputs in code, docs, or binaries. It pairs a proven Unix kernel (NetBSD) with a minimal Alpine Linux userland and a hosted Sourcehut/maintainer model to assert provenance and trustworthiness. — If replicated, AI‑free OS projects could create an alternative stack that affects software supply chains, provenance norms, developer labor, and regulatory debates about AI‑tainted code.
