So, two questions:

1. if the right to sue is specifically excluded, how are the license
terms to be enforced?  And in what way is the right to sue excluded,
given that there is no such langauge in the license itself?

2. As a developer, under what circumstances would I prefer this license?
 In other words, what real need does it serve?
