The license seems really restrictive for something intended to be built on. Entire countries are forbidden to use it at all (European Union, the United Kingdom and South Korea), and you are responsible for making sure no one in those places uses your derivative.

Seems specific legislations on European Union, the United Kingdom and South Korea made it hostile to Open weights model, I think I have seen other models with similar exclusion

why are you surprised? dealing with EU is not worth the regulation cost and litigation cost

They would not pursue it probably, but they sure pass on the regulatory responsibility to adopters

Anyone aware why this restriction was added? Is it a legal issue in those territories or more a competitor restriction issue? If it's the latter, you would think the US would be somewhere to exclude too
