No cause they want to be able to prevent people from adding ads and tracking to the app and then redistributing it.

He talks about this in the announcement video.

I saw the video. Is that really against the FOSS philosophy? I imagine that you can’t do that with e.g. the kernel either.

The licencing they chose is a bit of a hack job, but I see the necessity. IMHO, it’s clear that they want to advance the libre software world.
