With the same logic it can be argued that is not your job to decide what a software license is for.
Instead, it's the author prerogative to release software with any license they can think of.
It's up to distributions, other developers and users to decide what to do with it.
Most distributions will not package and distribute software under licenses that create gray areas and are difficult to enforce - not because of moral judgments.
