License Committee Report for April 2009

[Rick Moen]

Quoting Alon von Bismark (al.von.bi at googlemail.com):

> The context: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WTFPL

As previously discussed, this would-be licence is defectively
constructed, its wording making no reference to a covered work and thus,
apparently, granting certain rights to the licence itself, only, and not
to anything else.  Thus, it OSD merits as yet another cruddy permissive
licence with warranty problems don't even warrant discussion.

Your e-mail address, like wtfpl.user at googlemail.com immediately before
you, appears to have been invented for purposes of this discussion.
Would your name perchance be surname Puppet, given name Sock?

Cheers,              Crypto lets someone say "Hi! I absolutely definitely have 
Rick Moen            a name somewhat like the name of a large familiar 
rick at linuxmafia.com  organization, and I'd like to steal your data!" and lots 
McQ!  (4x80)         of users will say "OK, fine, whatever."    -- John Levine
