This license is pretty much made to ensure the following:

1. Creators don't get their projects stolen and monetized without being 
credited.
2. Anyone using this license uses respect towards others, unless they 
aren't treated with respect.
3. Anyone using this license doesn't act like a total asshole to others.

Thoughts?
