The licence terms / variation on MIT is interesting - unless this file is part of some standard I'm unaware of I'd expect it still shows as plain MIT for most automated SBOM collection/licence checks which feels problematic.

Yeah, that kills adoption by most people I'd imagine. Non-standard license terms are always a huge red flag IMO, regardless of actual license terms.

Ouch, why even involve the MIT license if you're gonna do custom terms anyways? Just put "Copyright me" and be done with it instead of ending up with some weird half and half solution. Net effect ends up the same anyways.
