They didn’t really write this license themselves. It was Microsoft license that they slightly adapted after someone complained they couldn’t contribute.
The real issue here is that the product wasn’t open source despite being advertised as such. The licensed they used, Microsoft Reference Source License, isn’t an open source license. It’s more accurately described as “source available”. Ie you can view the source but you’re not really allowed to use it for anything.
