<p>I'm not following your point. Are you saying that the license
text isn't copyrightable because it was AI generated? Why does
that matter to how the license operates?</p>

<div>While the License says:<br>

<div>"3. NO COPYRIGHT CLAIM (Fully AI-generated only)</div>

makes no copyright claim over the Software. The Software is<br>

AND the Readme of the license on "GitHub" says<br>
"

<div>Therefore it contradicts itself and has no legal meaning.</div>
