  1. As an old school code writer, writer and just human arts and expression enjoyer, I have, I'm still and will always fight against how AI is being trained , used and clearly pushed down our throat everyday.

    My own work, my code, my toughts, my blog has been scrapped and feed to the algorithm without my consent and without sourcing back to my work.

    Humanity knowledge should indeed be shared, but not after being mashed up and patched up together trought some mad men math.

    As the AI companies still continue to ignore pleas to regulate their domain, I wrote a new version of my previous "not so" open source license to protect my work from big companies and big ai companies.

    If the first version still have the stupid hope for some companies (looking at you #gitlab ) to be trusted the reality is ... no there's no need for trust .

    So this is it : PROJETRETRO RESTRICTED LICENSE + AI VERSION 2

    A license that fit my need and is based on my own point of view : If my work is worth being used in your product OR to train your AI , you have to pay me .

    I don't expect it to become wide spred. But just to exists as my scream into the monsters faces.

  2. "Ukraine's Massive Drone Attack Was Powered by Open Source Software"
    I'm always saying, open source software is good!

    Which opensouce license is forbidding military use?
    I remember that there was a discussion about that in the #searchwing project.
    And of course, military can still ignore it. terrorists will ignore for sure..

  3. Any license experts want to weigh in from a legal and moral perspective?

    I want to be as close to Misskey compatible as I can with my database; the Misskey project has the actual SQL commands for initializing the database in the Misskey repo (seen here:
    https://github.com/misskey-dev/misskey/blob/develop/packages/backend/migration/1000000000000-Init.js and in other files).

    If possible, I would like to use their SQL commands. Normally when I use other people's code, I try and fork to maintain history; however, in this case, I just want the queries. I also won't be hosting on GitHub.

    Would it be appropriate for me to copy/paste the queries into my own file, mark the location where they're coming from to give credit (and include the original copyright, of course), then license (at least) that file as AGPL? Would I need to license the whole project as AGPL? I'm not opposed to that; I just want to make sure I'm as transparent as possible about where these queries and code are coming from.

    (For the record, the plan is to embed them into Rust functions because I don't want to load SQL queries from arbitrary text files; that is, all the SQL I want to be run will be internal).
