-The "No problem Bugroff" license.
-
-Richard Stallman of the Free Software Foundation devised, in addition
-to some marvelous software, the GNU General Public License (GPL for
-short). Or the CopyLeft it is sometimes called.
-
-It is quite a revolutionary document, using the "copyright" tool to to
-protect your right to use free software.
-
-Unfortunately using copyright to protect free software is a lot like
-using a Jackal to guard the hens.
-
-In fact, various inconveniences relating to this have resulted in
-modifications such as the LGPL (Library General Public License) and
-more recently the NPL (Netscape Public License)
-
-I call these matters mere inconveniences, the real damage will occur
-when the Jackal's, (sorry, I mean lawyers), actually get to test the
-GPL in court for the first time.
-
-Thus enter my version.
-
-Its very simple.
-
-Entirely consistent.
-
-Completely unrestrictive.
-
-Easy to apply.
-
-The "No problem Bugroff" license is as follows...
-
-The answer to any and every question relating to the copyright,
-patents, legal issues of Bugroff licensed software is....
-
-Sure, No problem. Don't worry, be happy. Now bugger off.
-
-All portions of this license are important..
-
- * "Sure, no problem." Gives you complete freedom. I mean it. Utterly
- complete. A bit of a joke really. You have complete freedom anyway.
- * "Don't worry, be happy." Apart from being good advice and a good
- song, it also says :- No matter what anyone else says or does, you
- still have complete freedom.
- * Now bugger off. The only way to get rid of pushy Jackals is to
- ignore them and not feed them. The GPL is just begging somebody to
- take it to court. Can't you just see it. Exactly the same thing
- that happened when some twit (not Linus) registered Linux as his
- own personal trademark. People got upset, started a fund, and
- hired, off all ruddy things, a Jackal to try and defend the
- chicken! Who really benefits from this trademark / patent /
- copyright thing anyway? The lawyers. Who made it up in the first
- place? The lawyers.
-
-OK so the last part of the license sounds a bit harsh, but seriously
-folks, if you are a :-
-
- * Lawyer asking these legalese questions... You should go off and
- learn an honest trade that will actually contribute to life instead
- of draining it.
- * Programmer asking these legalese questions... You have amazingly
- powerful tools in your hands and mind, use them to ask and answer
- the worthwhile questions of life, the universe and everything. Stop
- mucking about with such legal nonsense and get back to programming.
- * User/reader asking these question... Don't worry. Go off and be
- happy. Have fun. Enjoy what has been created for you.
