    It’s complementary to robots.txt.

    • It’s weird that it’s XML, in 2025.
    • It’s weird that it doesn’t use the .well-known/ prefix which has trended in the last decade for placement of files like this.
    • It’s weird that it canonically uses the generic “license.xml” file name instead of “license.rsl” or “rsl.xml” or something that more clearly indicates its semantics.

    But I do like the idea of having some widely adopted conventional way of expressing, in unambiguous terms, which usages are expressly prohibited, and that AI training is among them.
