The real problem with the licenses is that they are not open source, but many users of them still seem to think they are doing open source.
The funny thing is that they are trying to protect themselves from Amazon and other competition before it usually exists, and that in reality, they are doing themselves more harm because the big co lawyers are starting to reject these unusual, project specific license. "If it takes more than a few minutes to understand, then I tell the devs No"
To all those would be users of the Faux Pas OSS licenses, why did you make it open source in the first place? If you want to protect your code, why no make it private? Why use one of these licenses?
