[License-review] License Review: IDCIYMI-1.0 (I Don't Care If You Mod It)

[PTFS]

Dear OSI License Review Committee,
I am formally submitting the "I Don't Care If You Mod It" (IDCIYMI)
license, version 1.0, for official approval as an Open Source license.

   1. *License Text*

*========================================================*
IDCIYMI License (I Don't Care If You Mod It)
Copyright (c) 2026 [Name]
Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy
of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to

The only condition is that the above copyright notice and this permission
notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the
Software.
CREATOR NOTE:
[Add your note here. For example: "I built this for the community—please
mod it
and share what you create!"]
THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY,

LIABILITY, WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING
FROM,
OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOFTWARE.
==============================================

   2. Rationale
   The IDCIYMI license fills a unique social gap by standardizing a
   "Creator Note" field within a permissive legal framework. While legally
   similar to MIT, it provides a dedicated space for authors to express their
   intent and encouragement for modifications without introducing legally
   binding restrictions that would violate the OSD. This fosters a culture of
   remixing and open collaboration.
   3. Open Source Definition (OSD) Affirmation
   I affirmatively state that this license complies with the Open Source
   Definition. Specifically:


   - OSD 3 (Derived Works): It explicitly permits modifications and
   sublicensing.
   - OSD 5 & 6 (No Discrimination): The license and its "Creator Note" are
   structured to ensure no groups or fields of endeavor are restricted.
   - OSD 9 (License Must Not Restrict Other Software): It does not restrict
   other software distributed with it.


   4. Stewardship
   I, Bernardo Hora, am the steward of this license.
   5. Existing Usage
   Since I do not use GitHub, the license and the software using it can be
   found at the following public locations:
