I'm curious what the legal ramifications of adding "this code is not to be used for any ML algorithms, failure to adhere to this will result in a fine of at least one million dollars" (in smarter writing) to a software license would be. Seems like a dumb idea/not enforcable but maybe someone with software licensing knowledge can chime in.

I was going to write a "this may sound dumb but..." comment along these lines, thanks for taking the hit.

As users we're forced to browse the Web with a million agreements that say "by using this site you agree to our Terms", what stops you from saying "by crawling this site to train your AI you agree to share profits with us" or whatever, particularly if you can prove that your data ends up being used?

Would this be enforceable if one has to first read a terms of use, then enter specific phrases from the terms of use into some fields and then enter a username and password? What makes a document on docusign/docushare enforceable?

This would block search engines but on some URL's this may be fine, such as data one would not want LLM's to hoover up.
