The only (ONLY) reason to write a license rather than putting your
software into the public domain is because you plan to sue at least
one of your users eventually.  Presumably also, you are going to write
your license so that there is SOME WAY that a licensee can violate it.
The WTFPL is impossible to violate, since I can do whatever the fuck I
want.  Thus, it is a license with no reason to exist, and a license
which the OSI has no reason to approve.

End of story.
