Moreover, if we had our druthers, we'd prefer that hapless recipients
and third-party reusers of works released under badly conceived crayon
licences don't get hurt:  Sadly for those of us who are friends of Papa

copyright and caselaw realities with such licences don't hurt _only_ or
even primarily themselves.
