This repository doesn't work on services, it modifies models that you can download and run inference on yourself. Are there any other pieces of software, or data files, or any other products at all where you think the maker should be able to place restrictions on its use?

Fair enough. I was responding more to the sentiment in the comments here, which are often aimed at the service providers.

Sure, see most software licenses or EULAs for various restrictions how you may or may not use various software.

As for non-software products... manufacturers put restrictions (otherwise known as safety features) into many products (from obvious examples like cars and saws to less obvious like safety features in a house) but people aren't up in arms about stuff like that.
