NC-ND makes the whole project a non-starter... it's not Open Source.

  Right. For anyone who doesn't know these abbreviations, NC means "Non-Commercial" and ND means "No Derivatives", which means you can't take the code and release a modified version. NC by itself is contrary to the Open Source Definition, but ND is completely opposed to what Open Source is trying to accomplish. https://opensource.org/osd-annotated https://opensource.org/osd-annotated

    Indeed, as it is licensed as such, it's no better than shareware.

    What's really annoying is that it only stifles those who care about licensing.

      That's no different from any other license :)

  Doesn't that make every single person who has forked it and modified it on github (16 as of now) a violator of the license?
