I mean, I think the point that the author of this license wants to point out is that, it brings a sense of discussion regarding something and tries to do something about it.
Like, I feel like your statement shows HOPL in a negative light and there are ways to do that in the sense of how I think it might not make sense legally (But IANAL) but if this does, then honestly it would be really nice but I also feel like your statement can be modified enough to be an attack of GNU/GPL philosophy
I wonder if the first people who saw proprietory webservices using GPL code which the community wrote which makes it easy for them / faster to build (similar to AI) ,think, I will just license my code to forbid to be in the use of any proprietory webservices (Its called AGPL)
Some of these aren't foss OSI compliant but honestly why does it matter if I am creator or I am thinking of licenses y'know?
Like its my software, I wrote it, I own the rights, so I am free to do whatever I want with it and if someone wants to write a HOPL software, then yeah its in their rights but I just don't like when our community sometimes tries to pitch fork people for not conforming to what they feel like providing commentary onwards
I am not trying to compare GPL with HOPL but I am pretty sure that GPL must have been ridiculed by people in the start, Someone with knowledge please let me know and provide some sources on it as I am curious about it as to what the world reacted when GPL/FSF/ the notion which I think most of you know about was born and unleashed into the world, I am curious how the world reacted and maybe even some personal experiences if someone went through that era, I would appreciate that even more in which words wouldn't count as I think it was a really transformative moment for open source in general.

There are other licenses like ACAP (https://anticapitalist.software/) etc.
