This has been working for years in Rugby. The next World Cup won't be segregated either [1]. It makes for a much friendlier environment. Being able to banter with the opposing supporters prevents frustration, and I'm sure is fairl

Interestingly that page doesn't include the WTFPL [0] As that licence doesn't include a "no-warranty" statement, and copyright is automatic in most countries (from your link), there must be a fair few open source repos o
