That includes the following section:

+---
| Any work resulting from generative use of a model can at most be
| as free as the model itself; e.g. programming with a model from
| contrib/non-free assisting prevents the result from entering main.
+---

which would ban projects like the Linux kernel, the Python interpreter,
LLVM, ... and their reverse dependencies from Debian, likely also from
non-free.

What is the plan to deal with that?

If you don't have time or spoons to maintain all this software, I guess
the alternative is to shut down the Debian project?
