Is it me, or is the Royalty Free License as flaky AF?

I mean isn't any license. And I guess most people are reasonable. I think once your work is out there in the wild there isn't much you can to to control it really in any case.
However, I'm a bit worried about the RF license. I'm no lawyer but there is one exception here that specifically concerns me - does the remix exception of ' combine with other assets' leave you wide open to people bundling your work into those giant packs of stl files on etsy and the like? Or even, as worded, could someone buy two of my models - bundle them together - and relist as a job lot?

I tried to draft a personal license that precludes either commercial work or remixing. As stated above, I don't believe there isn't much we can do to prevent this sort of this but that doesn't mean I have to give it my blessing.

I would prefer something like the cult PU license..

You are authorized to:

Print and use the 3D prints of the 3D model for private use;
Share the images of your 3D prints of the 3D model on communication media such as social networks or websites.
What is not allowed:

No commercial use or public sharing of the 3D model;
No modification or adaptation of the 3D model for public sharing or sale;
No distribution, sale, donation or exchange of the digital files of the 3D model.

could I just add that as a custom license?
