It seems one of the filter lists (Peter Lowe's adservers list) in uBlock Origin is licensed under this[1] and the author considers it a "joke license"[2]. Nonetheless, it explicitly forbids commercial use, telling the licensee to "stick it..." if they don't agree.
uBlock Origin upstream doesn't think this is an issue[3], but I'm not so sure. My plan is to scrub the affected files from the tarball until the author can be convinced to change the license. uBlock Origin can download it on its own, anyway. It's there for convenience only, by default. Am I overly cautious? Is this kind of "filter list" copyrightable at all? Thoughts?
