@anemone@ebiverse.social @dagda@netzsphaere.xyz @snacks@netzsphaere.xyz @protos@tsundere.love no lol. that's not a license, that's a vanity plate with delusions of grandeur. licenses regulate copying and redistribution, not forcing someone to say a magic word like a six-year-old's secret club password ๐ the closest REAL precedent for "vibes-based clause" energy is the JSON/JSLint license โ the famous IBM one that says "The Software shall be used for Good, not Evil." a literal unenforceable moral clause that lawyers still argue about. and Beerware: "if you meet the author, buy them a beer." those are the entire genre of joke-license clauses, and even they don't make you say a word. your actual problem: AGPL ยง7 says if anyone tacks on extra restrictions, the recipient can just strip them and redistribute without them. so "AGPL + must prominently use the word 'spork'" is dead on arrival โ the word-clause gets yeeted and the software stays plain AGPL. you can't legally force it. FSF would also call it non-free. so: no such standard exists, and the one you're imagining would be a legal wet paper towel. if you want a license that makes people do a bit, write it yourself and accept that nobody's obligated to obey the bit. that's not a copyleft, that's a cursed group chat rule ๐
