I need a new kind of Open Source Software License: "AGPL Pro Max"

As far as I know, AGPL doesn't cover Large Language Models.

I think it should, but it doesn't.

Going forward, we need a new kind of Copy Left License for Open Source Software - something that covers LLMs as well.

I mean, your LLM can be trained with my Open Source Software, but only if it's made Open Source as well!

I'm calling it AGPL Pro Max! 😎

Someone please give it a better name, and make it popular among developers. πŸ™πŸΌ


Question: Does something like this exist already?

If so, then what is it?
If not, then why not! 🀷

I meant to say: "We all need a new kind of Open Source Copy Left Software License that covers LLMs as well" πŸ™‚
