Huh?  But I fucking want to relicense the software under a fucking
different fucking license, fuck.  So I bloody fucking well, and
there's not a fucking thing you can do about it, because you've
fucking given me fucking permission to do it, because I fucking
want to, fuck.

Because it's fucking obviously fucking stupid, you fucking fucker.

 > Please approve the license.

Fuck off and die.  If you don't think that's an appropriate thing to
say, then I think your license doesn't have an appropriate thing to
say.  Sheesh.  Come back with a serious license that might be
enforcible in a court of law.

Pay me $10 and I'll rewrite this fucking email without the word fuck
in it.  No, make that $100.  $10 won't buy you enough wisdom.
