I understand that it makes everything easier. That doesn't matter in the 
slightest when you cannot verify the original license of the code allows 
you to use said code or that the license is compatible with KDE.

What this all boils down to, is KDE's liability regarding code from 
unknown origins.

It's clear a lot of people don't care about theft or the environment and 
are happy to use AI without thinking about the true impact.
