Wow, way to make an "open" license that's not open in the least, and 
then defend it with a smug, meaningless sentence.

"If you think this is going to be the case" means "unless you are 
psychic", because nobody can truly predict what is going to be done with 
something they give to a friend. No license which requires its users to 
be psychic ... hell, no such license even makes any effing sense.
