what does this phrase "[works which] embody the unique personal creative spirit of the author" mean in codeberg's new license policy? https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/org/pulls/1219/files

adjacent to the prior mention of (more or less) review & criticism, I think reads like a carve out for parody and satire
or it's a vague loophole in service of the full employment for lawyers movement
@jonny as one of the folks who drafted that change (with @dpk y @n0toose): that specific phrasing is for works of art (along with the exception for works of opinion). This allows people to eg share their blogposts, illustrations or video game assets under NC/ND clauses as part of their more liberal licensed Codeberg pages or games.
@jonny @dpk @n0toose there's a lot of background reasoning for the change on the PR itself: https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/org/pulls/1219
And in this issue where it was discussed to come to a consensus before it was put up to a vote to the Codeberg assocations members: https://codeberg.org/Codeberg-e.V./Discussion/issues/128
