Licenses are more powerful than just the legal enforcement they provide, they are also a contract that all contributors agree to. They build communities.
I don't think that the advice we should give to people is to just wait and watch. and if someone wants to take things into their own hands, write a license, reignite the discussion, talk about laws, then we should atleast not call it naive since personally I respect if someone is trying to do something about anything really, it shows that they aren't all talks and that they are trying their best and that's all that matters.
Personally I believe that even if this license just ignites a discussion, that itself can have compounding effects which might rearrange itself into maybe a new license or something new as well and that the parent's comments about discussions aren't naive
is it naive to do a thing which you (or in this case someone else) thinks is naive yet at the same time its the only thing you can do, personally I think that this becomes a discussion about optimism or pessimism with a touch of realism
Its answer really just depends on your view-point, I don't think that there is no right or wrong and I respect your opinion (that its naive) no matter what as long as you respect mine (that its atleast bringing a discussion and its one of the best things to do instead of just waiting and watching)
This is the real world. Being this "optimistic" as you say is just living in a fantasy world. Not calling this out would be just be bad.
Since, Although I like people criticisizing, since in their own way, they care about the project or the idea. But, still, Maybe I am speaking from personal experiences but when somebody shot down my idea, maybe naive even, I felt really lost and I think a lot of people do. I have personally found that there are ways to use this same thing to steer the direction towards a thing that you might find interesting/really impactful. So let me ask you, what do you think is that we can do regarding this situation, or the OP should do regarding his license?
I personally feel like we might need govt. intervention but I don't have much faith in govt.'s when they are lobbied by the same AI people. So if you have any other solution, please let me know as it would be a pleasure if we could discuss about that.
If you feel like that there might be nothing that we can do about it, something that I can also understand, I would personally suggest to not criticize people trying to do something but that's a big If, and I know you are doing this conversation in good faith, but I just feel like we as a human should keep on trying. Since that is the thing which makes us the very human we are.
