Why is WTFPL a problem when WTFPL allows Google or anyone to take WTFPL-ed software and relicense it under MIT or another acceptable license?

- gargravarr 9y agoI also find that supremely ironic. Google's reasoning is probably sound from a legal perspective, because 'do what you want' with it can be argued that the responsibility of the original code lies with the original author, and it's not clear. But yeah, it's humorous that a license deliberately designed for this reason isn't accepted.
- burntsushi 9y agoBecause that pre-supposes that one recognizes the WTFPL's validity in the first place......
