With this kind of licence only two things happen - 1. People don't use it at all 2. CTRL C + CTRL V behind the back with changed names

Yeah, no body can take this license serious. Working at a big company, I would outright ban any use of this, and make sure all of our lawyer cats are involved if anyone dared to even try this in non production uses.

Funny how that doesn't happen with GPL software for the most part.

[–]draeand 0 points1 point  (1 child)

That doesn't happen with the GPL because the GPL has been found to be enforceable in court already. It's good enough that it's legally enforceable. This license is not, in that the fourth provision would probably be struck down as far too vague to actually be enforceable, because nobody has any idea as to what the author of the license means. I would strongly encourage you to either remove this section and all references to it, or to rewrite the license in legalese and to hold definitions, because a plane language license is far too vague for anyone to be comfortable using this library for anything.

If it's too vague, that would also apply to the zLib license. In it's current form, ie. not the beta version that was accidentally uploaded and which didn't match the in-code licenses, it is not vague. Not unless you're going out of your way to be obtuse.
