Hey friends, one of my clown partners and I made a thing, playing with the fact that.. you can just make up your own rules for who can play with the things you create.

It's my second run at creating something of the kind, so when looking at how disheartening the impact of AI has been on creative folks all over, we decided to build a new ruleset for the release of some upcoming projects, and make it something others can use as well.

Or, as the license itself says:

"We made a ridiculous thing with our silly human brains, using our filthy human hands, in order to inspire our messy human hearts.

It is with strong encouragement, and a few simple rules, that we invite you to use your brains, hands, and hearts to play along with us."

Enjoy the Filthy Human Hands v1.0 License

@SocialGaff If LLM companies and their scrapers respected licenses, there wouldn't be nearly as much hate against them in the free software world. Making another proprietary license doesn't really do anything, except grow the list of proprietary software in the world.

This is a license for creative work, of similar intent to the creative commons licenses. It wasn't particularly made with software in mind.

As mentioned in the FAQ, we're well aware that it is not likely to be legally enforceable. That is part of why we haven't made our own version of the legalese documents that back up the CC licenses.

Making *this* license does one thing in particular; Create a clear statement of artistic intent while encouraging reuse and modification of work that's licensed under it.

You may not see the value in the creation of such a license, and you are certainly under no obligation to interact with it in any way.
