For some context when Google first released their license documentation publicly a lot of people were surprised that WTFPL was disallowed. (Discussion at the time: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16636963 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16636963).
However starting 2021-04-23 it appears as though Google now allows WTFPL (however this happened in a large refactoring of the page).
Last capture saying it was disallowed: https://web.archive.org/web/20210317154041/https://opensource.google/docs/thirdparty/licenses/#wtfpl-not-allowed https://web.archive.org/web/20210317154041/https://opensourc...
First capture allowing it: https://web.archive.org/web/20210423123435/https://opensource.google/docs/thirdparty/licenses/#notice https://web.archive.org/web/20210423123435/https://opensourc...
I just thought it was interesting to see that a large company is now comfortable with the WTFPL. Live documentation: https://opensource.google/docs/thirdparty/licenses/#notice https://opensource.google/docs/thirdparty/licenses/#notice
