It's probably the inverse:

they might license it to companies in the US, but don't want to have to deal with the changes and bureucracy needed to support individuals.

The statement's purpose is to say the equivalent "if you're a European and do run it, it's on you, this is not a product we release or support for the European market, don't expert support, liability, etc".

Why would they open themselves up to liability in the rest of the world where it is allowed?

I get that. What I do not get it some other commenters "scaring" Europeans attempting (or thinking) to run this product.

I mean, this other commenter literally said:

> You'll be both breaking their licence and potentially your local European data laws.

I'm really torn on the whole thing. I consider myself a patriotic American and would never do anything to undermine the security of my country or its allies (using the same definition of national security that the serious sworn oaths use, "all enemies foreign and domestic", which makes NSA backdoors that compromise American devices squarely a "domestic enemy").

But loyalties don't change facts and China is where serious hackers are rising on merit, doing a lot with limited resourves, giving zero fucks about empty slick talk.

If we wanted to hobble the PRC's technical rise we should have subsidized wasteful NVIDIA use and had Altman/YC be in charge: they'd still be gladhanding about how to pump their portfolio companies sticker price and avoid "systemic shocks" to the stock market anchored on NVDA.

Just for the record, I would never run this product, but it has nothing to do with the LICENSE itself.

Well, people say such things even for watching pirated shows, which to be truthful, almost everybody does...

Some just are narc types.
