- oxide 12y agoI don't recall anyone saying it was original, but I'll be damned if this one isn't better.
- im3w1l 12y ago>Being a dick includes - but is not limited to - the following instances: That "is not limited too" sounds scary. I would hesitate to use software under that license. So I guess that is the big difference between the licenses: One allows you to do pretty much whatever you want. The other allows you to be sued for pretty much whatever the author wants.
- lmm 12y agoThis one does so too, just less explicitly. It ends with "don't be a jerk", and the rest of it contains examples of things that would make you a jerk, but there's nothing that says those are the only ways to be a jerk.
- im3w1l 12y agoMy IANAL interpretation is that the "don't be a jerk" is not intended to be a clause of the contract. A few things point to this interpretation. * All other clauses clauses start with > * It is followed by "enjoy your free software", which is clearly not intended to be mandatory * Your interpretation is contradicted by the two instances of "You don't have to, but not doing so would make you a jerk." Those instances are examples of thing that do make you a jerk but are nevertheless allowed.
