Ofcourse its legally binding. If you include a license text with your own code on a platform that doesnt have a clause to license your code under different terms, then that license is legally valid.
But writing the license yourself without making sure that it doesnt allow for any legal loopholes is a bad idea.
7 0 ReplyYou declaring a debt isn't meaningful because you don't have legal authority to do so.
A licence statement is describing in what way you're granting permission for something you do have the right to control, which makes it meaningful
4 0 ReplyWhat the fuck are you talking about? Do you think the license being used is not legally binding? What constitutes as legally binding to you?

If you want to fork the repo then you make a commit to the original repo giving yourself rights then you make the fork and you’re golden.
7 0 ReplyI was gonna say, just make a commit changing the license to something else, like MIT?

I think this is a sort of anti-license, so I think the sort of people who use it reject copyright law.

You get two code bases with different ownership.
That's a very practical license, that reflects the concept as it is practiced. It's probably the only one that doesn't come from an ivory tower.
