Introduces the Human Only Public License (HOPL), a new copyleft software license designed to prohibit AI systems from accessing, analyzing, or using licensed software in any capacity. The license places compliance burden on AI systems and their users rather than software deployers, requiring only that terms of service advertise the restriction. Beyond the AI prohibition, HOPL functions like an MIT license with a copyleft clause ensuring derivative works maintain the same restrictions. The author argues this provides developers an option to create and maintain human-only digital spaces, noting that corporations take licenses more seriously than robots.txt files.
