>>• it looks like it has been written without a lawyer involved at
  all, not even looking it over after the fact, “You must not do
  anything with this software that triggers a rule that you cannot
  or will not follow.” really looks like “hackers” trying to be
  too smart for me (but IANAL, so I wouldn’t know)

It was written by Kyle Mitchell, a USA lawyer, who recently submitted (then withdrew) the License Zero Public License to the OSI.  Heather Meeker & Luis Villa (also both lawyers and participants on the OSI lists) were also involved or at least on the advisory board.
