Not sure about the downvoting, the license is extremely strange. Forbidding individuals from sharing any changes they've made to the software is the complete opposite of what most licenses do.
Also, CC explicitly discourages use of their licenses for software. This particular license just doesn't make any sense for code and I'm pretty sure the use cases the author has in mind are permitted by fair use anyway.

- cbsmith 6y agoYeah, it seems like a very unwise choice unfortunately.
