Apache and the JSON license

Allow me to rephrase. While the law does indeed say that it is Douglas's code and he can license it however he sees fit, such ambiguous language has no place in a license for software you actually want other people to *use*. Perhaps Douglas does not intend for the code to be used by anyone other than himself, and that is perfectly fine. However, the ambiguous license language makes the software toxic to anyone else, legally speaking: it is impossible to know whether one will later be found to have complied with the license or held liable for copyright infringement. If he wants the software to be adopted by others (and why else would he release it with an almost-open license?) then his purpose would be best served by leaving out the ambiguous language.
