Dear ASF,

As a developer I am quite concerned about machine learning being applied to our 
code.  I was wondering if you could perhaps create a new license, like the 
Apache v2 you have, that included clauses like:


  1.
Definitions:


      "Machine learning" shall mean access to this source code by algorithms,
      computer systems, and automatic scraping, for the express purpose of
      automated coding, and improving learning rates of neural networs.

      "Machine Learning Work" shall mean any work or service, whether in
      source, object, or hosted software form.

    4. Redistribution


      (e) If this Software is used for Machine Learning Work, then any and
          all parts (including source code, and training data with clear
          instructions on how to replicate your Machine Learning Work)
          of that Machine Learning Work need to be made publicly available
          without any restrictions.



I've added such a modified LICENSE (based on your Apache v2) to my own website 
that includes just these two clauses.

However - as I am not trained in law and licensing, I thought the ASF would be 
interested in this and perhaps could suggest taking this forward (in whatever 
form or shape you deem fit).

thanks!

Rock
