The license has no bearing on who or what may read code.

Licenses may control the circumstances of code facsimiles and products, but trying to stop your code from simply being seen or read with a disclaimer is impossible and silly.

I just want derivative work to respect the conditions I chose, that the copyright laws allow me to impose.

And I think training an AI is not like learning or reading for a human being.

And that's not silly. It's an opinion, but one shared with many people.

You know one of the core arguments is there. You tried to hide it and you didn't blink before using words like "simply" and "silly". That's disrespectful.

Simplicity is important and when something is silly it’s important to say so. If you feel disrespected I think you’re being too sensitive.

I think you’re confused about copyright law and about what is a facsimile vs a derivative work, and you’re also wrong about learning being fundamentally different for AI. AI learning is vastly superior and much more capable of both facsimile and imitation… but what is that if not learning; that is the definition of learning, plainly.
