This license seems to invite a lawsuit. Only a judge could determine if 
the Adaptations align with the original Author's vision (which might not 
even be written down anywhere). Since as the esteemed Larry Rosen put it 
years ago, "We can't even afford to WIN a lawsuit, much less lose one.", 
this license, even if it could be said to comply with OSD6, would be ill 
advised for anyone to use.

We don't need a license we think nobody should use.
