<nettime> WTFPL v2 |
Via GC, <http://sam.zoy.org/wtfpl/>: # There is a long ongoing battle between GPL zealots and BSD fanatics, # about which license type is the most free of the two. In fact, both # license types have unacceptable obnoxious clauses (such as reproducing # a huge disclaimer that is written in all caps) that severely restrain # our freedoms. The WTFPL can solve this problem. # # When analysing whether a license is free or not, you usually check # that it allows free usage, modification and redistribution. Then you # check that the additional restrictions do not impair fundamental # freedoms. The WTFPL renders this task trivial: it allows everything # and has no additional restrictions. How could life be easier? You just # DO WHAT THE FUCK YOU WANT TO. # # The license text # # # DO WHAT THE FUCK YOU WANT TO PUBLIC LICENSE # Version 2, December 2004 # # Copyright (C) 2004 Sam Hocevar <sam@hocevar.net> # # Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim or modified # copies of this license document, and changing it is allowed as long # as the name is changed. # # DO WHAT THE FUCK YOU WANT TO PUBLIC LICENSE # TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION # # 0.
