This doesn’t answer to my concern.

Is it “any use” to author code or packages, to review code, […]?

I’m sorry but I cannot do better than providing a real-world example [1]
with a concrete use-case where the meaning of “use” remains ambiguous
with the current wording.

Do you consider that this use of ChatGPT 
<https://chatgpt.com/share/69844b1c-0a10-8011-8308-333ed22e3ed2>
that leads to this author code or package 
<https://codeberg.org/guix/guix/pulls/1623>,
would it be a breach of Rule #1?

Cheers,
simon

PS: And you cannot escape by applying Rule #2 about some “not legally
    significant” code since I’m not contributor but I feel part of “the
    project” as someone with write access to one Guix repository.
