| > That license asserts that Taiwan is part of China It asserts that Taiwan is NOT part of "mainland of the PRC China". The clarification is required because under PRC law, Taiwan is part of the PRC by default. > requires you to “respect social ethics and moral standards” The license text is no different from the other recent AI model license texts out there that impose moral and ethical restrictions on usage. From a legal perspective this sucks because it is vague, but it's on par with the new wave of standard AI licenses. The text also explicitly states that legal and moral standards "of other countries/regions" must be complied with. > When the CCP says “terrorism”, they’re [...] Even if what you say is true, this isn't a license from the CCP.

Yes, the license calls out that Taiwan is not part of China and attempts to limit that statement to this specific agreement. They have to call this out because CCP has a very different opinion on this than the rest of the world. Which definition will prevail if a dispute about model use comes to court in the Chinese legal system?
Yes, people are trying to require ethical use of AI via licensing. This model is trying to enforce China's view of the world. It's important to understand what that view is, and consider if you want to commit yourself to it.
More detail on the differing definitions of "terrorism" [0]:
> The United States and China do have many reasons to cooperate in counterterrorism, but they also have different political systems and different values. The United States sees some Uighur and Tibetan movements as legitimate political and protest efforts that China sees as threats to its security. The United States sees Iran as an extremist nation and the leading sponsor of state terrorism while China sees it as a regime that it may be possible to deal with in pragmatic terms.
