This license is typically laughed at by corporate legal departments.
We've had countless software license audits and any sign of WTFPL is always a red flag in the audits' reports.
CC0, on the other hand, passes with flying colors.
To be honest, I don't know why WTFPL fails, whether by its scarcity or tone. I'd love someone to share a knowledgeable hint on this.
- jareklupinski 5y agocurious how the Unlicense is viewed by legal? I've been throwing that on all my projects since I learned about it before CC0 and it's now a habit.
- xcambar 5y agoAFAICT, the perception of Unlicense is becoming better. It was receiving weird looks some years ago, mostly because of its name ("Unlicense? You can't un-license something") but once past that, the contents are satisfying enough and it's been better accepted. Remind that it's just a data point though. #notALawyer
