If content with that license reaches critical mass, a law firm could sue for many at once.
Do you believe this critical mass would likely exceed all books ever published within the current copyright window? Do you think book publishers are somehow less financially able to muster a legal response than open source coders in their spare time?

> depending on your goals is the important bit. Is your goal to have your project used by companies which have to "run things through legal", or do you have better goals?
Not just companies, people too. It will have trouble getting into Linux distro repos. And a lot of devs/users avoid non-open-source projects especially if they went looking for solutions on Github.

Books don't have an explicit no-LLM license.
Would this even work legally? I remember the case of books used for training, where the court found training to be fair use, but the material has to be legally obtained (=Bought instead of pirated the books). > and usage on it What do you mean by "usage on it"?
