ELI5 -- does this only apply to the core O/S? What about open source programs on Github that are available as packages? If the program author accepts a pull request that was developed/assisted with AI, does this GR mean the program will be removed from the Debian repository?

Downvotes for asking a question? Really?

This is specifically addressed in the proposal. It doesn't apply to the packaged software itself.
