Flathub walked back their generative AI ban, replaced with a disclosure policy:
https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/10/flathub-walked-back-their-generative-ai-ban-replaced-with-a-disclosure-policy/
(Well, I guess it kinda makes sense to make this change, even if it seems like a dumb pro-AI move at first, because the previous policy was kinda vague, they already made some exceptions with more mature AI written or assisted apps, but it wasn't really obvious what they considered mature. I guess the current one makes a bit more sense, that they determine whether an app should be allowed, on a case-by-case basis, filtering out only obvious, low-quality slop (let's assume that reviewers will be judging things objectively))
