It still possibly contains code that is against KDE's licenses. And if 
they rewrite the whole thing from scratch then it's their code, but it 
is highly unlikely that the contributors using AI would do that, they 
want to take the easy road. I agree though that no policy can prevent a 
user using AI and claiming the code as their own, but we have to attempt 
to reduce the liability as much as possible.

I would even be for adding a checkbox in the Merge Request template 
requiring users to declare that no AI was used in this contribution. The 
same can go in the Bugzilla tickets.
