This is effectively a contract. You can put anything you want in a contract, but contracts are enforceable to only to the extent they comply with the law (statutes, case law, the constitution, etc.)
So to settle this, someone needs to violate this license and get sued. Or maybe proactively sue?
Remember: this applies to all LLM-generated code, not just chardet. No LLM-generated code is copyrightable, and thus cannot be licensed. The legal challenge could come in any context where LLMs have been used and the code placed under any license (proprietary or otherwise).
Which is going cause a collision between the "not copyrightable" and "derived from copyrighted work" angles.
