But why should I have to do this ?? By extension, I would end up seeking explicit permission to carry out any act that wasn't explicitly barred by civil or criminal law, just in case someone chose to try their luck in court. Or even some acts that I believed to be explicitly permitted by my reading of the law.

One, far more sensible, solution is that frivolous suits are thrown out immediately, with significant costs to the plaintiff.

There are no model licenses for such a situation, because it never occurred to
anyone that an API could be protected by copyright law.
