Dear ASF,
As a developer I am quite concerned about machine learning being applied to our
code. I was wondering if you could perhaps create a new license, like the
Apache v2 you have, that included clauses like:
1.
Definitions:
"Machine learning" shall mean access to this source code by algorithms,
computer systems, and automatic scraping, for the express purpose of
automated coding, and improving learning rates of neural networs.
"Machine Learning Work" shall mean any work or service, whether in
source, object, or hosted software form.
4. Redistribution
(e) If this Software is used for Machine Learning Work, then any and
all parts (including source code, and training data with clear
instructions on how to replicate your Machine Learning Work)
of that Machine Learning Work need to be made publicly available
without any restrictions.
I've added such a modified LICENSE (based on your Apache v2) to my own website
that includes just these two clauses.

However - as I am not trained in law and licensing, I thought the ASF would be
interested in this and perhaps could suggest taking this forward (in whatever
form or shape you deem fit).
thanks!
Rock
