Yes, please. The GSoC mentors' discussions I can find in my inbox don't exactly suggest such a clear policy being in place, and various participating organizations have their own. And I would venture a suggestion that such a policy should be there in general for GCC, not just for GCC GSoC projects. In various places, people are being reminded, rather than newly told, that blindly merging LLM-generated code is as bad (and in some ways exactly as bad) as blindly copying code from a random internet site, even if the name of that site is "StackOverflow" and you really really like the site. The problems are identical, and such blind copying can't be accepted, due to copyright reasons.
