WTFPL is amusing, but it is flawed as a license. It doesn't have the legal language required to safely grant rights. https://opensource.google/docs/thirdparty/

WTFPL is amusing, but it is flawed as a license. It doesn't have the legal language required to safely grant rights. https://opensource.google/docs/thirdparty/licenses/#wtfpl-not-allowed https://opensource.google/docs/thirdparty/licenses/#wtfpl-no... Unlicense[1] and CC0[2] have better legal wording.

Legal types don't like the Unlicense either as far as I can tell[1]. You'll find software that is dual licensed CC-0 and something else, too,[2,3] because anything public-domain-ish with no attribution may be perceived as too risky.
