I remember someone on GitHub in the Geany project (I do not remember who
or
where) mentioned something about adding WTFPL to the license templates.
Is
that still desirable? Are there other licenses any of you would like me
to
add in the future?
No. Its not really a "license" to be encouraged IMHO.
Because of the swear word?
Well that doesn't help of course. :)
But mostly because (subject to the standard IANAL disclaimer) as I
read it, it allows you to do anything you want with the license, but
says nothing about any other material.
And without a disclaimer it would allow me to sue the pants off of you
if the software under it didn't do what you said it did.
