It does not. That's why I usually use it only for those trivial pieces of code that are obvious anyway. Basically the pieces of code that I would have licensed as "Public Domain". But unfortunately there is no such thing as "Public Domain" where I live IIUC, and there are lots of different definitions of "Public Domain" around the world.
I don't see how it does much of anything.
It says I can do anything I want to with a package.
Yes, and it says it explicitely.
I really don't see a value in it at all, but I'm no lawyer.
Not explicitly saying "do whatever you want to do with it" is not the same, because then local laws etc. might give a different set of "defaults".
