Applicable to only those of the US (who choose to comply), which would mean giving non-US an advantage, which is a distinct no-no. They tried to restrict Fable to only-US, but that backfired since the world isn't at all clean cut, resulting in full unavailability of the model

Will each part be a 1.44mb rar/ace file?
Damn this reminds me of my days going around with a stack of - mostly recovered - diskettes.

Without international treaty and regulation restricting frontier capabilities globally, any attempt to outlaw open source models will only be as effective as King Canute ordering the tide to turn. Unless the USA fancies bombing those who refuse.
China is definitely refusing. And definitely will bomb back.
It cannot. The only available law is an export control law. A restriction on an open model would be strongly unconstitutional due to a freedom of speech guarantee in the Constitution.
Much harder to ban if they can run locally
How would that affect the world?
And build the wall, all around.
Prior restraint?
"National security" is a cheat code in the courts that gets you past any conceivable Constitutional blocks.
