unfortunately that's a terrible idea: 1. copyright licenses cannot be imagined to limit what you do with the legal copy of your software. it's not what copyright is or does. 2. it's also no longer an open source license, OSI, DFSG, GPL are all incompatible and would create practical problems for your would be users this is a problem that doesn't need to be solved; your license likely already prohibits this - copying without attribution, re-licensing, or license-washing. what remains is courts fine tuning what is "fair use" snippets or not, and it's not likely to come down as OK to use snippets like the fast sqrt as fair use. same whether it's a human abusing fair use, or a company, or a machine used by either of those. the AI aspect has no legal bearing and changes nothing - it just made the problem practical enough to actually happen. open source people and projects that have had their licenses violated need to sue and defend their existing copyrights.
