I'm likely going to be working on a major new installable software project later this year, and I'm very unsure I want to release it under an #OpenSource license as they are currently defined.
What I want is a combination of an #EthicalSource license such as Do No Harm (which unfortunately seems to have stalled in its development 3 years ago), combined with a #ProCraft clause which forbids using the software to promote or train LLMs.
I simply refuse to release code usable by LLM-loving Nazis.
