For now, he has withdrawn his proposed General Resolution (GR) that would have required the original training data for AI models to be released in order to be considered DFSG-compliant—though the debates on the topic continue.

Zhou has been working toward the GR for some time. In February, he posted an early draft to the Debian-project mailing list to ask for help and to give other developers time to provide input or develop their own counter-proposals.
