Am I right in thinking that the current license for Wat is upwards compatible with ... most anything sensible, notably the perl Artistic License and the GPL? (if answer "dunno", I'll go figure it out)

If so, would you have any objection if I allowed people to redistribute wat-pl under either of those -or- the original Wat license, just so people don't have to think about it? (AL/GPL disjunction is normal for perl stuff, AL/GPL/current disjunction seems like a nice inclusive approach)

The wat-js license is the "MIT license". I now realized that that is an ambiguous term. In any case, the spirit is that of the "Do What the Fuck You Want to Public License". I certainly won't sue you.

I'll mark the code AL/GPL/MIT then, given the MIT license is freer than the other two so it seems in keeping with your chosen spirit. Thanks.
