The OpenSSL Library AI Policy

[Blog on OpenSSL Library]

The OpenSSL Library has adopted [an AI policy](https://openssl-
library.org/policies/general/ai-policy/). To summarize:

* Anyone who uses AI to provide a _non-trivial portion_ of their contributions to the OpenSSL Library must:
1. Sign an updated [Contributor License Agreement (CLA)](https://openssl-library.org/policies/cla/) that includes _the AI clauses_.
2. Declare any AI use in _the commit message_ of each contribution. This is done via an `Assisted-by` trailer as explained in [the policy](https://openssl-library.org/policies/general/ai-policy/).
* People who do not use AI, who have already signed the old CLA, do not need to sign a new CLA.

[The policy](https://openssl-library.org/policies/general/ai-policy/) goes
into greater detail about what constitutes "non-trivial" contributions and how
to properly declare AI use.
