Printables: How to set different licenses for countries or organisations?
Only thing I can think of, is to put a placeholder model in Printables, and have a website containing the actual files. However I think is not in the spirit of a model repository.
At least one country is trying to pass laws that require models to be sent to government cloud for scanning for "approved content" and I'm really not OK with this, and would simply prefer to just disallow licensing in that jurisdiction. Another country probably already does this, but Printables is not officially available there, so that kind of gets around it. I also have not published anything dual use (a dual use item is one that has application in both civilian and military such as a drone that can carry significant payload) but if I did I would flat out want to state that it cannot be used in wars.

You could always place detailed license term in the description of the item. It seems a rather niche requirement to me. I would certainly be opposed to making Printables more complex (for the users as well as the developers) to allow for by-country license terms.
Items for military use which must not be used in wars? Yeah, well... maybe you should just not publish them anyway.

What would happen license-wise if someone downloaded that model (and perhaps printed it) in country A and them moved to country B where you had different licenses for A & B? Doesn't seem very workable if you ask me. I suspect there will be two groups of people: those that just ignore the license and do what they want, and those look at the non-standard license and just decide to go elsewhere because they don't want to bother with it.
It is not easy to write a good custom license. There are just way too many cases you have to consider. Choosing anything beyond a set of well known and understood licenses is just asking for trouble.
