WTFpl would work well. #56

Closed sensei-hacker closed 7 years ago

sensei-hacker commented 7 years ago

A license similar to the WTFpl would satisfy the expectations that all code should have a license, while not putting any restrictions on the use of the code. It's essentially a disclaimer of copy rights, written in the form of a one-sentence license.

Due to issues with the precise wording of the WTFpl, I hereby propose the Morris Public License:

Morris Public License Version 1.0

Closing as duplicate to #52. Assiging @shawoods to take a look at the language.
