"With RSL, websites can enforce stricter control over their content usage by blocking crawlers that have not obtained a free or paid license from an RSL License Server,"
"When a crawler requests a page that is managed by an RSL license from your website, it must include a valid RSL License Token for the page in the Authorization header using the new proposed License authentication scheme defined in RFC 7235 HTTP Authentication."
"RSL builds directly on the legacy of RSS, providing the missing licensing layer for the AI-first Internet,"
"It ensures that the creators and publishers who fuel AI innovation are not just part of the conversation but fairly compensated for the value they create."
Content creation and delivery companies introduced Really Simple Licensing (RSL) to compensate media makers when AI companies use their work. RSL provides websites a programmatic way to present licensing terms to web crawlers and to gate access based on license compliance, which may require payment. RSL requires crawlers to include a valid RSL License Token in the Authorization header and obtain licenses from an RSL License Server. RSL aims to improve upon robots.txt by enforcing compliance and blocking crawlers that disguise themselves. RSL builds on RSS and is administered by the nonprofit RSL Collective backed by publishers and platforms.
