This license is not written by a legal expert, I suspect.
For example this clause, phrased like an order, does not make sense:
"Don’t make any legal claim against anyone accusing this software, with or without changes, alone or with other technology, of infringing any patent."
You can't give orders to people in a license or other contracts. You can only describe conditions.
- staticautomatic 5y agoSure you can. Contracts are simply bargaining for promises to do or not do something. Here, the “order” is the licensee promising not to do something.
- mwcampbell 5y ago> This license is not written by a legal expert, I suspect. FWIW, it's written by Kyle Mitchell [1], an attorney. It's just that he places particular emphasis on writing his licenses in plain language, not legalese. [1]: https://kemitchell.com/ https://kemitchell.com/
