Everyone is commenting on the distribution terms. But the Contributions section is just as bizzare.

> Waiver of Rights: You waive any rights to claim authorship of the contributions or to object to any distortion, mutilation, or other modifications of the contributions.

I waive the right to claim that I authored my contributions? Wait, what?

Why would I ever contribute to this project under this license?



With European copyright law, these so called "moral" rights are not transferrable: you can always claim authorship and even revoke a license if it was used in a morally reprehensible way that harms your name as an author.
