I think in practice they are saying that any shit that happens cant be blamed on anything but the submitter.
You can already make a project out of copypasted bits of code. So long as you understand what they do, vetted and vouch for it...it's fine, no?
The change feels like a slippery slope where it could be easily abused if there's enough incentive. Like the DMCA (I think that's the acronym) process on youtube or github, or etc.
Maybe you're right, time will tell.
