There is no minefield. Ask your favorite LLM is it bad to read torrented books. Then ask it whether it did this. Or try to set up robots.txt file on your website than see what happens.

It is even legal for them to "clear room" rewriting some GPL software into a permissive license.

What person do you consider will protect your license in front of Big Tech, wasn't he the one named Donny?

I won't give up so soon. Sure it will be hard to protect a license like this, but who has ever tried? If we keep using Apache or so, we have no lever whatsoever. We should at least try.
Why not to implement the "skin in game" strategy? Let any human desiring to be protected by HSL pay some money to Donny. Or not to Donny but to repository - if you manage to do it enough abuse-proof.

What you will do if Big Tech just wipe all mentions in Internets of your license? Donny will not even have anything to see from you.
