- kurisufag 2y agowould you mind pointing out why? those are very dissimilar licenses in the sense that wtfpl is basically a cute way of putting something into the public domain, while MIT et. al. do actually have (albeit minor and reasonable) restrictions on the conduct of people using the code.
- poizan42 2y agoThere is no disclaimer of liability and implied warranty. You may be on the hook for damages if someone uses your code under the WTFPL and there is a bug that causes them to lose money.
- leni536 2y agoYou can use zero-clause BSD[1] or MIT no-attribution[2]. [1] https://opensource.org/license/0bsd https://opensource.org/license/0bsd [2] https://opensource.org/license/mit-0 https://opensource.org/license/mit-0
- dokyun 2y agoWTFPL is a fine license. It's even FSF approved.
- josephcsible 2y agoThe FSF certifies that it's a free software license that's compatible with the GPL, but they recommend against using it: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.en.html#WTFPL https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.en.html#WTFPL
