Thought experiment: imagine a language model where you can describe exactly how you want software to behave, and it produces a binary that does that. You don't get the source code, but it works 100% of the time. As long as you can install this binary on whatever device you have, does this achieve the goals of free software?
I think it's fair for a requirement to be that the model that generates this is free software in itself, even though that wasn't a hard requirement in the early free software days (eg, free software was free even if you needed a non-free toolchain to build it before gcc was bootstrapped)
@mjg59 is this the freedom software version of original sin
