pretty sure I can license my code however I wish, and others may choose to, or not to, use it under my license. I literally OWN it! Watch this: "you may only use my code if you accept my cat Trixie (http://trixie.cat) as your lord and savior. All use of my code outside of such acceptance is prohibited and will be prosecuted as copyright infringement to the fullest extent of law."

Fair use essentially means you can use the work without a license. As long as its ‘fair’. The license might literally say ‘no fair use’, but if you’re not abiding by the terms of the license it means nothing.
You can put anything in a license you want, but it doesn’t mean it will stand up in a court of law.
