That depends. If OP’s job is marketing then doing it before is doing the thing even if it pisses off the people who’ll have to do the thing OP made up.
I get the sentiment and it’s a fair shot at license cosplay but it ain’t gonna hold.
No definitions. What is AI for the purpose of this license? What is a natural person?
At some point the text makes distinction between AI, ML, and autonomous agents. Is my RSS reader an autonomous agent? It is an agent as defined by, say, HTTP spec or W3C. And it’s autonomous.
Author also mentions that any MIT software could use this instead. It most certainly could not. This is very much not an open source license and is not compatible with any FLOSS license.
I don’t see it taking off in any meaningful way given how much effort is required to ensure compliance. It also seems way to easy to sabotage deployment of such software by maliciously directing AI agents at such deployments. Heck, even at public source code. Say, OP publishes something under this license, an AI slurps it from the canonical repo. What OP’s gonna do?
In the US, there is no such thing as "out of circulation". All coins issued since the Mint started minting is legal tender, thus cannot be melted by people.
I do not know about Paper Money, but I am 99.9999% sure all paper currency issued by the Federal Gov. is Legal Tender. But IIRC, some are illegal to own, like the 100,000 note.
> Can I melt, drill holes through, or mutilate U.S. coins?
> Maybe. It is a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 331 to alter a U.S. or foreign coin with the intent to defraud. The United States Mint cannot issue interpretations of criminal statutes such as this, which fall within the jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of Justice. Furthermore, 31 C.F.R. Part 82 states that no person shall export, melt or treat any 5-cent coin or one-cent coin of the United States. However, there are a few exceptions such as for novelty, amusement, educational, jewelry and similar purposes. Your business should consult with an attorney to ensure it does not run afoul of these laws before melting or mutilating U.S. coins.
And yes, it's still a coin if it’s out of circulation. A few years ago I decided that saving my old Eisenhower dollars was not worthwhile. The local Panera Bread took it without a problem. I think the cashier thought it was a neat to see an unusual coin.
When I was younger and working at a comic book store I honored the face value of out-of-circulation 1922,1923 silver dollars *, and then promptly swapped with my own cash. LOL. Still have ‘em.
* evidently, these are the most common “silver” silver dollars, but that’s another story.
It pulls data from Amazon and so is limited to availability there. For instance, the most expensive MacBook in there is $5839 while on the Apple Store you can max out at $7349 (hardware only). I suspact same goes for other manufacturers. So if you want to blow ungodly amount of money you’d need to do some extra research.
