That sort of license (intentionally or not) severely limits the use of
a piece of software. As I understand it, (and I am not a lawyer), it’s not
recognized as valid in many places. In addition, many larger companies or
groups don’t want to deal with software that uses such licenses because
it’s perceived (rightly or wrongly) as non-serious. I remember learning
that even placing something in the public domain is not without problems
because that too is not recognized as legal in some places.
