    Note that this is non-enforceable. it relies on the goodwill of the crawlers (of which they have none). You can’t impose licenses on other people like this. A license typically relies on having a copyright, patent or trademark restriction on something and then you licensing some exemption to that restriction to others. There’s no copyright protection on what people can do with your content once they read it other than not replicating it exactly. (nor should there be)

      Yes.

      I’m hoping this is laying the groundwork for reddit, et al to eventually sue the heck out of OpenAI, Google, etc but I’m not a lawyer.

        Reddit literally signed deals with Google and OpenAI to allow them rights to train their LLM models on user content. So the only avanue to sue them would be breach of contract.

        yes, copyrights only do one thing though, preventing people from replicating the exact content. It doesn’t prevent things like training GenAI models on that content, or from reading from people you don’t behave as you want them to.
