Pamela Chestek dixit:

It is very much not clear, and we have rejected licences with
less ambiguous reading.

> For this document to not meet the definition of "open source,"

No, it does not meet the definition of “licence”.

> a court would

As I already wrote, it is not just about what a court would think,
it’s just as much about promising to my (as a distributor) down‐
streams that the stuff I take from upstream is under a good licence.

This one is clearly not good and almost certainly not a licence
(consider the name as well!).
