Those who use AI to report to open source projects and flood the volunteering devs who keep the World going, should be disqualified from using those open source projects to begin with (even though thats not feasible)

Consider that it's not intended to be helpful, but actually could be a malicious DDOS attempt. If it slows down devs from fixing real vulnerabilities, then it empowers those holding zero days for a widely used package (like curl).

I propose a GPL-noAI licence with this clause inserted.

so not GPL at all, then

Public with conditions on behaviour which can lead to your licence being revoked, just like the current GPL. 🤷‍♂️

The license doesn't get revoked. It does not apply to things it does not allow in the first place.

Some kind of restrictions are easier to describe and assess than others.

I doubt someone that generates AI slob reports would care about the restrictions anyway.
