With Meta exploring the fediverse, would it be possible to create a copy-left federation license to block for-profit entities from federating with a server? (kbin.social)

I.E. a way to legally enforce that servers which federate with you are not allowed to serve ads alongside content from your server, and must be run by not-for-profit entities?

I'm curious about some sort of strategy that blocks Meta from extracting money from the content creators in the current fediverse by using legal licensing of some sort, similar to how the GPL software license requires any derivative software to be open source.

You could create an instance or an app that scrapes their system and puts it out for free

Which they would detect and defederate/block in short order.
