If this was to go through, of course OpenAI and co will be the primary lobbiests to ensure they get to define the filters for such a license.
Also how would you even enforce this. It's absolute nonsense and is a clear indicator that these larger companies realize there is no 'gatekeeping' these AI's, that the democratization of models has demonstrated incredible gains over their own.

The telcos told the regulators this would create endless spam, so they would regulate it themselves, and created a consortium to “end spam”
