I don't know how you can post something publicly on the internet and say, this is for X, Y isn't allowed to view it. I don't think there's any kind of AI crawler that's savvy enough to know that it has to find the license before it ingests a page.
Personally, beyond reasonable copyrights, I don't think anyone has the right to dictate how information is consumed once it is available in an unrestricted way.
At a minimum anything released under HOPL would need a click-through license, and even that might be wishful thinking.

United States decision, vacated the decision and remanded the case for further review [...] In November 2022 the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California ruled that hiQ had breached LinkedIn's User Agreement and a settlement agreement was reached between the two parties.
So you can scrape public info, but if there's some "user agreement" you can be expected to have seen, you're maybe in breach of that, but the remedies available to the scrapee don't include "company XYZ must stop scraping me", as that might allow them unfair control over who can access public information.
