Few manufacturing processes allow you to customize and iterate on designs like 3d printing. Taking a design with such a restrictive license and making it central to 3d printing undermines the entire field.

It's still a valid open source license--like it or not. And it DOES offer protections from rapacious corporations that will hold up in court.

Don't be so surprised that this blade will cut in two directions. The onus is on you to read and understand.
