The problem is this interact badly with the nature of software which is valuable by being reusable, and extract added value from what can be automated.
Where there was perhaps a market need for 1 library for doing task X, now there are countless libraries doing X, each with incompatible licences and programming languages. But the added value to extract hasn't moved.
Like too diverse programming languages, I feel like this creativity in licensing only weakens software quality worldwide through rework and contributes to the "too much software" problem.
(edit: and it's worse with licences who aren't actually legal anywhere)
