It is probably fine.  The comment about public domain is only if you
provide the changes to Wei Kai.  No one is obligated to do so.
Requiring things to be in the public domain is, in any case, similar
to what the GPL requires.  I'm not sure if it is enforceable, though.

The patent issue is not a problem specific to the license.  Rather, it
depends on what algorithms are implemented.  What algorithms are used?
A usual suspect is IDEA, which is patented in many countries.
