OSI / Perens in some sort of fight over this license.


Internet commented:

"
Do not give anyone a license AT ALL. Simply release a document,
stating that you will not prosecute anyone who uses your software
in any way, unless they themselves ever try to enforce imaginary
property schemes onto the world. And you *expect* people to openly
break the "law" by copying your software without a license.

So it is not a license, but merely a public statement, with no legal
normativity.

Then, nobody who backs imaginary property, can ever use your software.

And if they try anyway, you of course sue them, using their own
weapons against them. And the only legal way out you offer them,
is a contract where they give up all their imaginary property shemes
for all eternity, and all their works go to the public domain
forever. Retroactively too.

They can of course refuse to settle, and go to court. You'll be
using Content Mafia math(TM), to calculate the damages they owe
you. Bwahahahahaa!

(Payable in transferral of all their imaginary property to you,
too, of course. rofl)
