Just Do Whatever the F*** You Wanna Do Public License
« on: January 07, 2013, 08:12:45 pm »
I decided to give a license to one of the projects I'm working on. However, none of the licenses available are truly free. The GPL is a joke, the Beerware notice requires you to retain the notice, the Do What the F*** You Want to Public License requires you to change the name if modified, and all the other ones force me to read a headache-inducing novel of legalese.

That's why I decided to create my own, genuinely permissive and free (in every single sense of the word) software license.

Behold, I hereby present you the Just Do Whatever the F*** You Wanna Do Public License! (or FuPL)

Without further ado, here is the full license:

Code: [Select]
          JUST DO WHATEVER THE F*** YOU WANNA DO PUBLIC LICENSE
                        Version 1, January 2013

  Copyright (C) 2013 Jane Doe <[email protected]>

  Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim or modified copies
of this license document, and changing it is allowed.

         JUST DO WHATEVER THE F*** YOU WANNA DO PUBLIC LICENSE
    TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION

  0. Just do whatever the f*** you wanna do. Seriously.
I will from now on use it in quite a few of my projects. FSF better approve this software license.

Fight for your freedom! Don't let those brainwashed GPL fanboys hinder your vision!

I'm afraid this license already exists.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WTFPL

But still, it's a pretty nice license.

EDIT: Oh wait sorry I didn't noticed the slight change that says you don't have to change the name. Still, it's a nice one.

Also is that license just the same as plain public domain?

Lol nice one. Keep in mind that your license still doesn't let us do whatever we want at 100%, though, because we are still forced to include it with our releases or nearby. :trollface:

We're allowed to change it to a proprietary license and take all credit for it though :trollface:

So..
Is this satire on changing the name if modified?
Because this about entirely identical to the the other one.

the Do What the Fuck You Want to Public License requires you to change the project's name if modified

Actually it just requires you to change the license's name if modified (which you just did), it says nothing about the project's name which you just do what the fuck you want to. So I can take your license, heavily modify it, do whatever the fuck I wanna do with it and release it with my program under the exact same name (which might make no sense). The rest is identical to the WTFPL, but reworded.

What do you mean? As far as I know copyrighting software doesn't involve anyone else (copyright office, gov't, ...) at any point.
