## Soft Fork
<sup>[⚠️ soft fork](#soft-fork)</sup>
Any alternative project that you see a "<sup>[⚠️ soft fork](#soft-fork)</sup>" next to is "soft forked" from an upstream tainted project. A soft fork means that the fork may still merge in commits from the tainted upstream project that it was forked from. Sometimes a soft fork is your only option for the sake of harm reduction, so we still allow these to be listed as alternatives, so long as soft fork itself still has an Anti-AI policy. We add the warning though, so you can choose your own risk appetite.

This is a special badge with a *positive* connotation. It certifies that a project, that's been recommended as an alternative, has a *Clear* "No AI" policy. This means the project forbids the use of AI and LLMs and does not have any special carve outs where they've condoned their usage. These projects should always be preferred as all other alternative projects listed are considered to have a neutral stance on AI until they put out an official policy.
