Interesting license choice. Where'd you find it/what motivated you to choose it?

My pacifist nature lead the choice and I probably saw that license on some other random projects iirc.

Thanks for bringing this up. I hadn't noticed it.

I'm not sure how the United Nations defines economic harm, but if anybody's using this to view pirated content, it seems like they might not have a license to it (and using it would be a separate copyright violation).

But I suppose if you're pirating your media anyway, violating the media center's copyright wouldn't really be a concern.
