Perhaps ‘restrictive’ was a poor choice of words. ‘Less free’ in the free-software sense.

I’m still putting together my thoughts on various open source licenses especially as we see automated AI rewriting.

I think licensing will have to be re-invented, because now it's trivial to just say: claude, do a "clean-room implementation", so that noone can accuse me of stealing code.

That's what LLM companies have done for years anyway. Inline completions are trained on licensed code. And nobody cares! ;)
