To be fair to the "Fair Source" license, they do accurately label it as "not open source" (see the first sentence of https://fair.io/).  So while I don't think the idea is going to get much traction, Heather et al have at least been careful not to dilute the meaning of "open source", which is something to be thankful for given how many others are not so careful.
