At first glance, this looks like a great initiative, Really Simple Licensing: https://rslstandard.org

It's a simple standard way to embed licensing terms in robots.txt, #RSS feeds, web pages and more, so that internet crawlers (especially #AI bots) can understand the author's intentions, and supports collective #licensing platforms.

This is a critical part of the plan I put forward in my blog post here https://dougiamas.com/how-we-could-build-a-better-future-for-creators-in-the-age-of-ai/ where such labelling should be legislated.

But before we jump in, what do you think of #RSL as a #standard?

@martin is there an equivalent to CC BY NC?

@martin Thanks Martin, technically, on principle it looks swell.

Some (doable) work for software to add more metadata.

Let's say all creators have this wonderful option. Most sane people would say, "no dont train on my stuff, unless you pay me".

That's the last thing the big boys want. They have so much invested in water/power will they dial back, comply?

And as you suggest, yes governments *ought* to legislate, but how many have the backbone to do this?

@cogdog Well, not the US, for sure, but other countries can force the issue on US companies. Happened before with GDPR.

I feel like we should develop a very clear expression of the total package around this and start making a lot more noise around it.

Many governments do want solutions, they just have no clue on the area.
