OSD 5. No Discrimination Against Persons or Groups

"Yes, except" is "No." This license does not meet the OSD and will
not be considered for approval.
Concur. For that matter, someone who uses the software for criminal
or espionage purposes is hardly going to be stopped by the fact that
they're violating the license. Instead, it would work better if you
just took Article 5 out of the license and instead put it in the TOS
for your website/network. That way you're legally covered (I would
add a prohibition against CSAM while you're at it), but the license
can still be OSS.
As a developer, I would like to understand what your other terms
actually mean. It's very confusing because you use a lot of words in
ways that those words are not normally used. For example, "token"
seems to refer to an actual piece of software rather than just an
encryption key. And you're using "localization" here in a way that I
can't decipher at all.
By my reading:
- recipients of the Work are required to offer their downstreams a
"token", which is some kind of binary data and/or compiled code;
- recipients are NOT required to make source code in human-readable
format available
Is that correct? Can you explain in straightforward terms what the
expected open source developer/redistributor workflow and obligations
with this license are supposed to be, and how this relates to AI?
That's assuming that you remove Article 5, of course.
