This is a legal nightmare. Whether you agree with the goals or not, this is just about the worst-written license I've ever seen. In legal terms, you want to avoid ambiguity. Otherwise, you have litigation (which the party with the deepest pockets wins). This license has incredible ambiguity. A (non-legally binding) declaration is fine with ambiguity -- it's even desired. It's a starting point for a conversation and interpretation. That's not true for a license or a contract. Lawyers often do leave ambiguity, but that's usually when the ambiguity is removed otherwise (e.g. by law). This is just an incompetent mess.
