There are various licenses that do that, but by definition they are not open source. Those two things are mutually exclusive.
I find it very interesting the sudden abhorence of the masses to ignoring copyright, what happened to all the pirates? The shift to "copyright is good actually" by antiAI folks is bewildering.
Y'all really think the system is set up to protect the little folks in the first place?
I thought the whole point of open source is sharing 🤷
Edit: Makes me think of "socialists" who would deny the basic rights they're saying they're fighting for from "rich" people.
Not sure if you are specifically talking to me, but yeah I do find it strange.
All the recent lawsuits between tech companies and publishers and people somehow became defenders of publshers when those fuckers are the same people that are exploiting creative people in the first place. Creative people are not the beneficiaries of all these settlements that are happening.
I think it's all the anger of self-published creators with following who convincing people that they are being destroyed and those people are blindly directing that anger at tech companies not fully understanding the situation.
