The "AI Not Welcome Here" is interesting at the bottom of the Readme.

https://github.com/MrIceman/go-uml#warning---ai-not-welcome-...

This is a pretty hard stance to take when creating an OSS project. The author made an open source, MIT-licensed repo. Right now, the statement reads "I wrote this all myself". Does that mean the author is not willing to accept PRs?

Or will we see something like a DCO that developers make an attestation that AI was not used in creating the change?

> Right now, the statement reads "I wrote this all myself".

He says, "all the code in this repository _that_ was written by me" was, if fact, hand-written by him rather than auto-generated by a tool like copilot.

I read it as he is open to contributions and if you want to use AI that's allowed but he notes that he does not and he provides a rationale to boot. Fine by me.
