Yes, it's a pity it has such a license. People tend to dismiss it without even looking at it because of the license.

I don't think the language will take off unless it change licensing before it's too late, but I still find it enjoyable to use with some smallish projects.

I hope that Shen will get a successor that will make it more suitable for modern world while keeping ideas that make it unique and sound in the first place and smoothing the rough edges.
