Discussion: Has a bespoke community licence ever actually stopped a model repack?

A Reddit user sparked a discussion questioning whether bespoke "community" licenses from major labs actually prevent derivative releases.
The author points out that a license is only tested when a third party tries to publish a modified copy. Before that, it's merely a download button. Third parties have already converted and repacked models, with the repacks carrying the original license tags.
Using Ling 3.0 Flash with a plain MIT license as a baseline, the author asks the community for real-world cases where a bespoke community license successfully blocked a derivative ship.
