The basic idea is, whenever using a project using SATA license,
people shall star/like/+1 that project and thank the author.

…this brings up so many questions in me.

Would I really not be allowed to use the software, if I don’t +1
it? What’s next – “leave a favourable five-star review as a
condition for you to be able to use it”?

What about if where I got the package from, it doesn’t allow for
star/like/+1 (e.g. my Linux distro)?

What about if I fork their repository – should the stars/likes/+1s
and thanks now go to me and/or how do I forward them to their
rightful upstream owner?

I have no idea what this has to do in a (copyright) license…

Anyway, this is just a vanilla MIT with this “star and thank”
clause added. I think the project would be best served, if they
simply used MIT and put their plea for likes and thanks into the
README file.
