I see there an access violation...
Actually, there are many programs that are designed to be configured by editing the config files. It's not a "very unusual" case.
Actually, both Arch and NixOS are pretty reliable, and won't just break out of nowhere, leaving your computer unusable.
I haven't had that issue. I've heard that disabling adblockers resolves it. But people have said that spoofing their user agent to chrome also magically resolves it...
I didn’t come across any restrictions imposed on an end user to modify the app for their own needs or redistribution
It's by default that you can't redistribute modified versions. You need explicit permission to do so. Furthermore, that license is revocable. So let's say you invest a lot of time into making modifications - at any point, they can revoke the license, and you suddenly find yourself forbidden from distributing your modified version, too/
If/when Grayjay is transitioned to FOSS, I imagine it’ll be difficult for the community to maintain it due to the complexity…
That's not really relevant. There's no requirement in open source on how the projects are to be maintained.
the last thing someone like that would want on a personal project is loads of strangers contributing, bad actors ripping it off trying to make a quick buck, or even worse redistributing it with malware.
It's up to him whether he accepts strangers contributing. That has nothing to do with whether it's open source. If he didn't want contributions, he could disallow any pull requests on an open source software - or conversely, if there are people willing to contribute to a non-open-source project, there's theoretically nothing stopping that. Redistributing it with malware is not really a problem open-source projects have, and malware writers wouldn't care for the license anyway.
The only thing is would be the somewhat relevant would be making a quick buck part, but that's only been a problem for people using MIT/BSD license.
Finally, I'll never understand why people would want to name software after dental string...
For some software, where EEE tactics aren't a concern, but corporate adoption matters, these licenses make perfect sense. However. that's not the case here: an OS is a prime target for EEE.
Yes, but North Korea is something else. Cuba should be more representative of what the Soviet block was like.
One the contrary - the reason copyright is called that is because it started as the right to make copies. Since then it's been expanded to include more than just copies, such as distributing derivative works
But the act of distribution is key. If I wanted to, I could write whatever derivative works in my personal diary.
I also have the right to count the number of occurrences of the letter 'Q' in Harry Potter workout Rowling's permission. This I can also post my count online for other lovers of 'Q', because it's not derivative (it is 'derived', but 'derivative' is different - according to Wikipedia it means 'includes major copyrightable elements').
Or do more complex statistical analysis.

Then there's CC BY-NC-SA (non-commercial use only, copyleft)and
Actually, much of that description, perpetuated by dystopian novels, is pretty far off the mark - and it's the kind of mischaracterization that makes it harder to fight back against authoritarian governments.
The fact is, the vast majority of people in authoritarian states live ordinary lives, just like everywhere else. That's part of what makes these governments so resilient. If everyone in there lived a nightmare, they wouldn't last for decades, they'd collapse at the first sign of instability. After all, there are a lot more people than government officials.
For example, a canny authoritarian government won't disappear anyone who steps out of line. Instead, they'd provide a "safe, legitimate" way to step out of line, that's well regulated and doesn't pose a threat to the government, but serves as an outlet. And most people will be satisfied with it. That's both more subtle, and more effective, that instilling fear in everyone's heart.
