> Does the author have a right to restrict use of his code? Absolutely.
Nah. I mean ostensibly it does. But not really. Author may have a wish. But if anyone is willing to fulfill it is entirely up to them, in physical sense.
> Does he have the right to build in a destructive booby trap as some form of vigilanty license policing? Absolutely not, and liability could ensue.
Well.. there are laws against that for sure, but again, physically he can and he did. And I'd trust more physics than law.
If something has teeth it can bite. Author openly rabid to AI can bite and you shouldn't touch anything he does with a 10 foot pole. Which coincidentally aligns with his wishes. So everyone should be happy. Except dumb people.
If you really need something similar to his stuff just feed the docs to your Codex and ask it to implement it.
