No, and yes.

That's nice. But irrelevant. The fair licence doesn't even require source
code, so it can quite easily apply to a work for which there is no source.
In the past, some copyright holders have decided to interpret even
widely-known and free licences like the MIT licence in non-free ways (cite:
pine), so having the wording of a licence be explicit and clear is a
definite advantage. This licence is neither.
