I'm not sure I would call it an "interesting stance", as it's barely a stance and not at all interesting IMO . It's what they think is legally required to accept code given their license.

If there's a chance the providence of the code is tainted, the only thing that makes sense that doesn't cause the possibility of immense problems later is to reject it.

Yep, the world isn't always black and white. If I were to use Copilot to autocomplete the code I would've written myself (which is VERY often the case) I don't think it'd fall under this policy unless made overly obvious in some kind of rebellion act

I think the policy means what it says.
