Louis Rossman said in his video that this was so people didn’t repackage the application with ads and malware. He said it’s fair game to recompile and altar it in any other capacity though.

Louis Rossman is the poster child for the right to repair movement. He’s been doing this for well over a decade at this point. It’s okay that you don’t know him, but just trust us when we say that he’s pretty trustworthy. Maybe I don’t know, do some research into him.

Afterall a healthy mentality. Even if I think Rossmann does some great things - he is still a rando on the internet.
Me as a dev understands the desire to protect your work against malicious actors. On the other hand some of the best work is GPL licensed. IMO their license provides an ok middle ground between protection and non-commercial redistribution.
Let actions speak louder than words.
Ah, so that’s why everyone was so hyped when he developed a €169 software to calibrate the MacBook orientation sensor
They can vary the terms of the license for future commits.
The license seems similar in terms of effect to the MIT license while still giving them control over trademarks and images.
I’d call this a more restrictive form of MIT but not as copyleft as GPL.
