Quoting it: | The BOLA text | Here's the text. I usually place it in a file named LICENSE in the top directory of the project. | It's composed of an introduction, and then the "license" itself. | Last updated: 11/September/2006. Version 1.0. | | I don't like licenses, because I don't like having to worry about all this | legal stuff just for a simple piece of software I don't really mind anyone | using. But I also believe that it's important that people share and give back; | so I'm placing this work under the following license. | | | BOLA - Buena Onda License Agreement (v1.0) | ------------------------------------------ | | This work is provided 'as-is', without any express or implied warranty. In no | event will the authors be held liable for any damages arising from the use of | this work. | | To all effects and purposes, this work is to be considered Public Domain. | | | However, if you want to be "buena onda", you should: | | 1. Not take credit for it, and give proper recognition to the authors. | 2. Share your modifications, so everybody benefits from them. | 3. Do something nice for the authors. | 4. Help someone who needs it. | 5. Don't waste. Anything, but specially energy that comes from natural | non-renewable resources. | 6. Be tolerant. Everything that's good in nature comes from cooperation. How is that the same as: | DO WHAT THE FUCK YOU WANT TO PUBLIC LICENSE | Version 2, December 2004 | | Copyright (C) 2004 Sam Hocevar | 14 rue de Plaisance, 75014 Paris, France | Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim or modified | copies of this license document, and changing it is allowed as long | as the name is changed. | | DO WHAT THE FUCK YOU WANT TO PUBLIC LICENSE | TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION | | 0. You just DO WHAT THE FUCK YOU WANT TO. Quoting the FAQ: | Isn’t this license basically public domain? | | There is no such thing as “putting a work in the public domain”, you | America-centered, Commonwealth-biased individual. Public domain varies | with the jurisdictions, and it is in some places debatable whether | someone who has not been dead for the last seventy years is entitled to | put his own work in the public domain. (Sources for last two quotes: http://sam.zoy.org/wtfpl/) Replacing “Public Domain” by “Public Domain” (which to me is what BOLA is about) sounds hmmm broken?
