Caution: "Do whatever you want with it" is not a license.
I'd suggest the Unlicense (http://unlicense.org/ http://unlicense.org/). It at least has a warranty disclaimer.
- josteink 14y agoPlease explain me, as a completely impartial outsider, in plain words, how " do whatever you want with it" is not a license.
- Cushman 14y agoThe simple explanation is that, legally speaking, "do whatever you want with it" does not necessarily entitle you to do whatever you want with it.
- greyboy 14y agoIn addition to what Cushman said, find out the results of Dr. Richard Hipp (sqlite creater) about putting his software in the public domain. Some countries don't have a similar concept, some companies need explicit permission, etc. It would be easier if they simply chose a very permissive license to use.
- josteink 14y agoIt would be easier if they simply chose a very permissive license to use. Only in a world where people's mindset has been ruined by copyright would it be simpler to license something than giving it away.
- greyboy 14y agoI understand the idealistic view. That doesn't negate what I said, however.
- madoublet 14y agoMakes sense to me. I updated the source with the unlicense.
- noiv 14y ago'Do What The Fuck You Want To Public License' has a paragraph excluding warranty. Just copy and paste it: http://sam.zoy.org/wtfpl/ http://sam.zoy.org/wtfpl/
