The idea is that any software published under this license would be
forbidden to be used by AI. The scope of the AI ban is maximal. It is
forbidden for AI to analyze the source code, but also to use the
software. Even indirect use of the software is forbidden. If, for
example, a backend system were to include such software, it would be
forbidden for AI to make requests to such a system.

Nice concept, but I think it's going to be prohibitively difficult to
enforce, particularly for public-facing applications.
"On the Internet, nobody knows you're not really a dog."
If someone does find a way to enforce this, it will lead naturally to
sites being able to ban people of the "wrong" political persuasion. I
think we can all forecast where that would lead.
