Hello everyone,

I would like to raise a question about Wine's policy on code generated 
by Large Language Models (LLMs). Several large open-source projects, 
including NetBSD, QEMU, and Gentoo, have already stated their strict 
position about contributing such code [1] [2] [3], but I found no 
results related to this topic in either the Wine Developer's Guide [4] 
or wine-devel archives [5].

Would it make sense to formalize a clear code policy regarding code 
generated by LLM and add it to the Developer's Guide? This would be 
relevant for both the main Wine tree and the tests subsystem.

Best regards,
Y. Osipov
