To the author: please consider using an actual license.

I infer from the tone of your license that you intended it to give away the code to any "human" who wants to "use" it.

What if I modify it? Is modification "use"? (No.)

What if a shell script calls it? Is that a "human" using it, or a "computer"? Is linking "use"?

The result is probably a license which is non-free, which doesn't appear to be your intention.




Maybe also add that as an issue at the repo.

(Writing it as a comment here is/was still useful because it may help others)


Maybe part of the license is proving you are (human) by interpreting it reasonably.

Or maybe it’s a trap. Who can say?
