Never understood why anyone uses this one; it's just too potentially messy, and a permissive license like 0BSD provides the intended effect without the risk.

Part of the indended effect is making a policical/societal point about the copyright system, something the 0BSD license does not do. I personally believe that legal documents are a bad place to make these points, but obviously people differ.
