We need a FUCK OFF OSS license: like the do-whatever-tf-you-want but with extra clauses telling people to FO. if they want bugfixes, improvements or features.

All the free software I had put out there is kind of like that. I don't care about the fame, glory or user count. I release something I built to scratch an itch just because someone else might find it useful. If you didn't like my code, tough luck, go write yours.
Edit: call it the FOOSS license, ha!
- orliesaurus 2y agothe idea is good in principle but it's not good in practice - we're all grown ups at the end of the day and personally, I don't ask for money, I just ask for a little gratitude and help!
- jraph 2y agoI don't think this has any place in a license. That would be a CoC, or a README section. Also just post your project somewhere people can't open issues and ask for improvements. Though I don't think that's what most projects want. You still want feedback usually. You just want to skip the entitled users.
- sevagh 2y agoThe MIT license already bakes "fuck off" into its core. The license does not put any maintenance burden on the creator. So, choose a regular license, and comport yourself as a maintainer in a manner that tells people to fuck off. THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY
