What's bad is the way http://wtfpl.net describes it and is sorta
anti-copyleft. Also bad about WTFPL is the lack of legal respect or
something, but overall it's no worse than any other highly-compatible
permissive license.
I mean, WTFPL is almost explicitly[0] meant for projects which are not
terribly serious or critical. At a guess, it's meant for people who want
to write a program that is *fun*, but not have to deal with big legal
overhead when sharing it.
And there's nothing wrong with being anti-copyleft, copyleft has its
problems, especially in the case of very small programs.
In any case, I'm curious about OP's opinions, because simply posting a
license and a few extracts from its website is a poor way to express an
argument. Facts are open to interpretation.
[0] I could have sworn Sam's website mentioned this, but I didn't see it
at a glance. Maybe it got lost when he moved it off of sam.zoy.org.
