If you don’t like seeing the F word in images, then scroll quickly past this post.

Coding Horror is right, there are too many licenses. Of course Jeff is more visceral about it:

I hate software licenses. When I read a software license, what I see is a bunch of officious, mind-numbing lawyerly doublespeak. Blah, blah, blah.. kill me now.

One possible solution? Just use the WTFPL:

WTFPL software license

Hmm the WTFPL is strikingly similar to just putting code in the public domain. But not nearly as fun.
