The whole point of open source license is that they are a legal document that can be enforced and have legal meaning. It's not just a feel-good article. Your argument is like saying to a client who you are drafting a contract to and say "oh yeah don't worry about the word by word terms in the contract, wink".

Also, this "non-AI" license is plainly not open source nor is it permissive. You can't really say you are a fan of open source when you use a license like this. The whole pt of the MIT license is that you just take it with no strings attached. You can use the software for good or for evil. It's not the license's job to decide.

There is nothing wrong with not liking open source, btw. The largest tech companies in the world all have their most critical software behind closed doors. I just really dislike it when people engage in double-speak and go on this open source clout chasing. This is also why all these hipsters startups (MongoDB, Redis, etc) all ended up enshittifying their open source products IMO, because culturally we are all trying to chase this "we ♥ open source" meme without thinking whether it makes sense.

If people say they "truly love open source", they should mean it.
