For those who aren’t in the loop, if you like to use OSS, this isn’t strictly open source. It is source available.
So, can’t fork if they throw users under the bus?
You can fork it, but not for commercial purposes.
Would this license create complication in case someone wants to fork the project ? Usually, this is the safety of using open source software, should the original dev team go rouge, a team of blue dev might assemble and fork the project to at least prevent regression of capabilities.
also “you may not remove or obscure any functionality in the software related to payment to the Licensor in any copy you distribute to others.” 🤡
FUTO’s license meets neither the free software definition nor the open source definition.
No thanks. The 4 freedoms are essential. Everybody using this is going to be shocked when they implement ads and/or sell it.
Its license is more of forbidding anyone to use it for commercial purpose. People still can fork it for non-commercial purpose.

It’s not ideal but I won’t blame them. Huge chunk of casual consumer FOSS are distrubuted without permission on mobile, slapping ads and other monetization. Notably, almost all Minecraft clone on Android are based Minetest/Luanti.
The GPL already forbids distributing without the source code being available. People who break GPL will break this license too, and they will have even less resources to fight it. I wish people would stop writing their own licenses and just get behind the GPL. There’s already tons of lawyers familiar with it.
