I wonder how will this affect future Anthropic products, if prior art/products exist that have already been built using
claude.
If this is to only limit knowledge distillation for training new models or people
Copying claude code specifically or preventing max plan creds used as API replacement, they could properly carve exceptions rather than being too broad which risks turning away new customers for fear of (future) conflict
If they think that will work, they're really silly. Is a ToS change going to stop a corp which can gain millions of dollars and can technically work around the protection in hours? Yeah, nah..
