We live in the era of "vibe coding." AI tools can generate thousands of lines of code in seconds. While this is aggressively marketed as progress, it poses an existential threat to the core philosophy of Open Source. Code is transforming from a deliberate instrument of human thought and craft into gray, statistically generated noise. The AI Free Software (AIFS) movement is established to defend the purity, mindfulness, and human authorship of software development.

1. The Death of Expertise: Code is increasingly written by people who don't understand how it works under the hood. This inevitably leads to unpredictable bugs, massive technical debt, and hidden security vulnerabilities.
2. Poisoning Open Source: Maintainers are burning out. Issue trackers and pull requests are getting flooded with generated garbage, forcing real developers to waste time reviewing AI hallucinations.
3. The Licensing Crisis: AI models ingest vast amounts of open-source code (often protected by GPL, MIT, or Apache licenses), regurgitating it without attribution or respect for the original authors' terms. It breaks the social contract of Open Source.
4. The Loss of "Soul": Programming is fundamentally a form of communication between humans. By reading someone else's code, we learn to think differently and solve problems elegantly. AI-generated code teaches us nothing.

We, the advocates of AI Free Software, commit to the following:

• 100% Human-Crafted: Our code is written by humans, for humans. We do not rely on LLMs (Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) to generate our logic, algorithms, or system architecture.
• Mindfulness in Every Line: We only write and ship code that we can fully explain, debug, and maintain.
• Quality Over Speed: We reject the industry's race for raw line counts and hyper-fast delivery at the expense of readability, security, and elegant design.
• Real Human Mentorship: We pass on our knowledge through meaningful code reviews and pair programming with living people, not through prompts to neural networks.

If your project is built exclusively by human minds and you share our values, you are already one of us. Make it official:

1. Add the AIFS badge to your README.md:
2. Add the ai-free-software and 100-percent-human tags to your repository topics on GitHub.
3. Fork this manifesto or give it a star to show your support.

Code is the poetry of logic. Leave the writing of poetry to humans.
