That f#cking license is f#cking freedom, I f#cking love it
I'm not enamoured by the language, but I wish more people would dare to release things with "no strings" in this way.

Truth is of course that, once you open source something (unless you can afford a lawyer) then whatever licence you choose, for all practical purposes you might as well have used the WTFPL!

Cheers,
David.

The ISC license is functionally equivalent to that (with the warranty clause included and you can keep the same name). I thought you might appreciate the cleaner language. :)

No, it is not. It requires you to pass the license. WTFPL is still the only OSI approved license that I call free.

I stand corrected. Can't believe I missed that

FYI, I couldn't find the WTFPL on OSI's website.
