- The OtherLicense seems a bit scary (even the contents aren’t), is there a good reason why you don’t use more familiar MIT or BSD3?

Too verbose. I might use ISC if it weren't also an OtherLicense...

I appreciate the feeling. My personal favorite is the WTFPL. :) However, you are trading verbosity in one particular reference file for increased obscurity and adoption friction for the library as a whole. They may be more verbose, but MIT and BSD3 are very well understood and accepted, and for the audience for whom they are intended, verbosity is just another term for "completeness".
