copyright, hacks, open source, friends, legal, developmentAshkahn pointed me to this great minimalist free and open source software license:
DO WHAT THE FUCK YOU WANT TO PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2, December 2004
Copyright (C) 2004 [YOUR NAME]
[YOUR ADDRESS/EMAIL]
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. You just DO WHAT THE FUCK YOU WANT TO.
The wikipedia entry points out that it could use an indemnification clause (explicitly stating that the authors of the software are not responsible for any issues). To do this, I'd add:
1. We're NOT RESPONSIBLE WHEN IT DOESN'T FUCKING WORK.
To read more like a generic license (like the BSD), I'd change it as such
DO WHAT THE FUCK YOU WANT TO AND DON'T BLAME US PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 3, April 2008
Copyright (C) 2004 [YOUR NAME]
[YOUR ADDRESS/EMAIL]
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim or modified
copies of this license document and accompanying software, and
changing either is allowed.
