It gives the licensee the ability to distribute the binary, use or include it in their products in the same way as an open-source product. It just merely prevents modification without decompiling (which i assume is not easy given it's clojure, not to mention obfuscation?). And presumably it makes it less likely someone would just produce a competing product if they should choose to re-monetize it?

Why would it prevent modification or decompiling?
Only due to difficulty, not by license.
