Licenses

Free culture licensing is its own special bugbear. While pioneers like the folks behind the GPL, ISC, and even WTFPL have brought the egalitarian ideals of libre software to the masses, with the development of source-available, but non-libre licenses, as well as the corporate takeover of the commons, I think it's time for a new strategy.

To that end, I propose that new projects choose a license from what I call the Poison Pill class. These are licenses that are so nonsensical, so whimsical, that any entity with an actual legal department won't use them out of terror; however, every-day people who don't have to worry about such legalese can enjoy the works they cover, as well as the licenses as art for their own sake.

Below, I've included sixty-two such licenses, along with easy-to-use template variables that make it simple to adapt them to your project.

To my (admittedly shakey legal) knowledge, you may use any of these licenses for any project. Don't hold me responsible if a copyright lawyer falls in love with you, though.

The Poop Fart Public License (PFPL) Version 1.0, June 2023[link]
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION, AND MODIFICATION

0. YOU'RE AWARE OF THE SMELLS

   By using, copying, distributing, or modifying the software (referred to as "The Software" or "The Stinky One"), you agree to acknowledge that it might produce foul odors, including but not limited to poop, fart, and other malodorous emissions. You further agree not to hold the author responsible for any discomfort, nose-pinching, or dry heaving that may result from the use of The Software.

1. PERMISSION TO SMELL, MODIFY, AND DISTRIBUTE

   You are granted a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, and odoriferous license to smell, modify, and distribute The Software. This includes the right to breathe deeply, wrinkle your nose in disgust, and even hold your breath in extreme circumstances.

2. MODIFYING THE STINK

   When modifying The Software, you are encouraged to introduce new smells, fragrances, or aromas, as long as they do not infringe upon the nasal rights of others. The original author cannot be held accountable for any olfactory offenses caused by your modifications.

3. REDISTRIBUTION AND "THE STINKY CODE"

   Any redistribution of The Software must include a notice acknowledging the foul-smelling nature of The Software and a recommendation to use appropriate air fresheners while engaging with it. If you choose to redistribute "The Stinky Code" (i.e., a modified version of The Software that is even smellier), you must indicate that the code is not for the faint of heart, and users should proceed at their own risk and with plenty of fresh air.

4. WARRANTY OF ODOR

   The Software is provided "as is," without any warranty or guarantee of any kind, including the warranty of smell. The author cannot be held responsible for any discomfort, nausea, or loss of appetite resulting from The Software's pungency.

5. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

   In no event shall the author be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or nasal damages, including, but not limited to, loss of sense of smell, damage to the olfactory system, or the inability to enjoy a gourmet meal due to exposure to The Software's stench.

6. SURVIVAL OF THE STINK

   The termination or expiration of this license does not relieve you of the smells emitted by The Software, which may linger indefinitely. You are advised to have adequate ventilation and air purification systems in place to deal with The Software's persistent odor.

By using, copying, distributing, or modifying The Software, you agree to the terms and conditions of this Poop Fart Public License. May your nostrils forever be vigilant.

Bide within the Law you must, in perfect Love and perfect Trust.  Live you must and let to live, fairly take and fairly give.

For tread the Circle thrice about to keep unwelcome spirits out.  To bind the spell well every time, let the spell be said in rhyme.

Light of eye and soft of touch, speak you little, listen much.  Honor the Old Ones in deed and name, let love and light be our guides again.

Deosil go by the waxing moon, chanting out the joyful tune.  Widdershins go when the moon doth wane, and the werewolf howls by the dread wolfsbane.

When the Lady's moon is new, kiss the hand to Her times two.  When the moon rides at Her peak then your heart's desire seek.

Heed the North winds mighty gale, lock the door and trim the sail.  When the Wind blows from the East, expect the new and set the feast.

When the wind comes from the South, love will kiss you on the mouth.  When the wind whispers from the West, all hearts will find peace and rest.

Nine woods in the Cauldron go, burn them fast and burn them slow.  Birch in the fire goes to represent what the Lady knows.

Oak in the forest towers with might, in the fire it brings the God's insight.  Rowan is a tree of power causing life and magick to flower.

Willows at the waterside stand ready to help us to the Summerland.  Hawthorn is burned to purify and to draw faerie to your eye.

Hazel-the tree of wisdom and learning adds its strength to the bright fire burning.  White are the flowers of Apple tree that brings us fruits of fertility.

Grapes grow upon the vine giving us both joy and wine.  Fir does mark the evergreen to represent immortality seen.

Elder is the Lady's tree burn it not or cursed you'll be.  Four times the Major Sabbats mark in the light and in the dark.

As the old year starts to wane the new begins, it's now Samhain.  When the time for Imbolc shows, watch for flowers through the snows.

When the wheel begins to turn, soon the Beltane fires will burn.  As the wheel turns to Lamas, night power is brought to magick rite.

Four times the Minor Sabbats fall use the Sun to mark them all.  When the wheel has turned to Yule, light the log the Horned One rules.

In the spring, when night equals day time for Ostara to come our way.  When the Sun has reached it's height, time for Oak and Holly to fight.

Harvesting comes to one and all when the Autumn Equinox does fall.  Heed the flower, bush, and tree by the Lady blessed you'll be.

Where the rippling waters go cast a stone, the truth you'll know.  When you have and hold a need, harken not to others greed.

With a fool no season spend or be counted as his friend.  Merry Meet and Merry Part bright the cheeks and warm the heart.

Mind the Three-fold Laws you should three times bad and three times good.  When misfortune is enow wear the star upon your brow.

Be true in love this you must do unless your love is false to you.

These Eight words the Rede fulfill: "An Ye Harm None, Do What Ye Will"

COOPERATIVE NON-VIOLENT PUBLIC (BUT NO CRABS) LICENSE v2

Preamble

The Cooperative Non-Violent Public (But No Crabs) license is a freedom-respecting sharealike license for both the author of a work as well as those subject to a work. It aims to protect the basic rights of human beings from exploitation, the earth from plunder, the equal treatment of the workers involved in the creation of the work, and the code from masochist programming. It aims to ensure a copyrighted work is forever available for public use, modification, and redistribution under the same terms so long as the work is not used for harm. For more information about the CNP(BNC)L consult a random person in ##symbolics2 on libera.chat.

Terms and Conditions

          h. If You Distribute, or Publicly Perform the Work or any Adaptations or Collections, You must, unless a request has been made pursuant to Section 4(a), keep intact all copyright notices for the Work and provide, reasonable to the medium or means You are utilizing: (i) the name of the Original Author (or pseudonym, if applicable) if supplied, and/or if the Original Author and/or Licensor designate another party or parties (e.g., a sponsor institute, publishing entity, journal) for attribution ("Attribution Parties") in Licensor's copyright notice, terms of service or by other reasonable means, the name of such party or parties; (ii) the title of the Work if supplied; (iii) to the extent reasonably practicable, the URI, if any, that Licensor to be associated with the Work, unless such URI does not refer to the copyright notice or licensing information for the Work; and, (iv) consistent with Section 3(b), in the case of an Adaptation, a credit identifying the use of the Work in the Adaptation (e.g., "French translation of the Work by Original Author," or "Screenplay based on original Work by Original Author"). The credit required by this Section 4(h) may be implemented in any reasonable manner; provided, however, that in the case of an Adaptation or Collection, at a minimum such credit will appear, if a credit for all contributing authors of the Adaptation or Collection appears, then as part of these credits and in a manner at least as prominent as the credits for the other contributing authors. For the avoidance of doubt, You may only use the credit required by this Section for the purpose of attribution in the manner set out above and, by exercising Your rights under this License, You may not implicitly or explicitly assert or imply any connection with, sponsorship or endorsement by the Original Author, Licensor and/or Attribution Parties, as appropriate, of You or Your use of the Work, without the separate, express prior written permission of the Original Author, Licensor and/or Attribution Parties.

          i. For the avoidance of doubt:

                i. Non-waivable Compulsory License Schemes. In those jurisdictions in which the right to collect royalties through any statutory or compulsory licensing scheme cannot be waived, the Licensor reserves the exclusive right to collect such royalties for any exercise by You of the rights granted under this License;

                ii. Waivable Compulsory License Schemes. In those jurisdictions in which the right to collect royalties through any statutory or compulsory licensing scheme can be waived, the Licensor reserves the exclusive right to collect such royalties for any exercise by You of the rights granted under this License if Your exercise of such rights is for a purpose or use which is otherwise than noncommercial as permitted under Section 4(b) and otherwise waives the right to collect royalties through any statutory or compulsory licensing scheme; and,

                iii.Voluntary License Schemes. The Licensor reserves the right to collect royalties, whether individually or, in the event that the Licensor is a member of a collecting society that administers voluntary licensing schemes, via that society, from any exercise by You of the rights granted under this License that is for a purpose or use which is otherwise than noncommercial as permitted under Section 4(b).

          j. Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the Licensor or as may be otherwise permitted by applicable law, if You Reproduce, Distribute or Publicly Perform the Work either by itself or as part of any Adaptations or Collections, You must not distort, mutilate, modify or take other derogatory action in relation to the Work which would be prejudicial to the Original Author's honor or reputation. Licensor agrees that in those jurisdictions (e.g. Japan), in which any exercise of the right granted in Section 3(b) of this License (the right to make Adaptations) would be deemed to be a distortion, mutilation, modification or other derogatory action prejudicial to the Original Author's honor and reputation, the Licensor will waive or not assert, as appropriate, this Section, to the fullest extent permitted by the applicable national law, to enable You to reasonably exercise Your right under Section 3(b) of this License (right to make Adaptations) but not otherwise.

          k. Do not make any legal claim against anyone accusing the Work, with or without changes, alone or with other works, of infringing any patent claim.

5. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND DISCLAIMER

   UNLESS OTHERWISE MUTUALLY AGREED TO BY THE PARTIES IN WRITING, LICENSOR OFFERS THE WORK AS-IS AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND CONCERNING THE WORK, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTIBILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NONINFRINGEMENT, OR THE ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS, ACCURACY, OR THE PRESENCE OF ABSENCE OF ERRORS, WHETHER OR NOT DISCOVERABLE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO SUCH EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

6. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY

   EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL LICENSOR BE LIABLE TO YOU ON ANY LEGAL THEORY FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS LICENSE OR THE USE OF THE WORK, EVEN IF LICENSOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

7. TERMINATION

          a. This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate automatically upon any breach by You of the terms of this License. Individuals or entities who have received Adaptations or Collections from You under this License, however, will not have their licenses terminated provided such individuals or entities remain in full compliance with those licenses. Sections 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, and 8 will survive any termination of this License.

          b. Subject to the above terms and conditions, the license granted here is perpetual (for the duration of the applicable copyright in the Work). Notwithstanding the above, Licensor reserves the right to release the Work under different license terms or to stop distributing the Work at any time; provided, however that any such election will not serve to withdraw this License (or any other license that has been, or is required to be, granted under the terms of this License), and this License will continue in full force and effect unless terminated as stated above.

8. REVISED LICENSE VERSIONS

          a. This License may receive future revisions in the original spirit of the license intended to strengthen This License.  Each version of This License has an incrementing version number.

          b. Unless otherwise specified like in Section 8(c) The Licensor has only granted this current version of This License for The Work.  In this case future revisions do not apply.

          c. The Licensor may specify that the latest available revision of This License be used for The Work by either explicitly writing so or by suffixing the License URI with a "+" symbol.

          d. The Licensor may specify that The Work is also available under the terms of This License's current revision as well as specific future revisions. The Licensor may do this by writing it explicitly or suffixing the License URI with any additional version numbers each separated by a comma.

9. MISCELLANEOUS

          a. Each time You Distribute or Publicly Perform the Work or a Collection, the Licensor offers to the recipient a license to the Work on the same terms and conditions as the license granted to You under this License.

          b. Each time You Distribute or Publicly Perform an Adaptation, Licensor offers to the recipient a license to the original Work on the same terms and conditions as the license granted to You under this License.

          c. If the Work is classified as Software, each time You Distribute or Publicly Perform an Adaptation, Licensor offers to the recipient a copy and/or URI of the corresponding Source Code on the same terms and conditions as the license granted to You under this License.

          d. If the Work is used as a Network Service, each time You Distribute or Publicly Perform an Adaptation, or serve data derived from the Software, the Licensor offers to any recipients of the data a copy and/or URI of the corresponding Source Code on the same terms and conditions as the license granted to You under this License.

          e. If any provision of this License is invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of the terms of this License, and without further action by the parties to this agreement, such provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable.

          f. No term or provision of this License shall be deemed waived and no breach consented to unless such waiver or consent shall be in writing and signed by the party to be charged with such waiver or consent.

          g. This License constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the Work licensed here. There are no understandings, agreements or representations with respect to the Work not specified here. Licensor shall not be bound by any additional provisions that may appear in any communication from You. This License may not be modified without the mutual written agreement of the Licensor and You.

          h. The rights granted under, and the subject matter referenced, in this License were drafted utilizing the terminology of the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works (as amended on September 28, 1979), the Rome Convention of 1961, the WIPO Copyright Treaty of 1996, the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty of 1996 and the Universal Copyright Convention (as revised on July 24, 1971). These rights and subject matter take effect in the relevant jurisdiction in which the License terms are sought to be enforced according to the corresponding provisions of the implementation of those treaty provisions in the applicable national law. If the standard suite of rights granted under applicable copyright law includes additional rights not granted under this License, such additional rights are deemed to be included in the License; this License is not intended to restrict the license of any rights under applicable law.

{{work}} (the "Work") may not be used directly by any living being.  ANY use of this Work (even perfectly legitimate and non-commercial uses) until after death is explicitly restricted.  Any living being using (or attempting to use) this Work will be punished to the fullest extent of the law.

For your protection, corpses will not be punished.  We respectfully request that you submit your uses (revisions, uses, distributions, uses, etc.) to your children, who may vicariously perform these uses on your behalf.

This license will be unexpectedly revoked (at a time which is designated to be most inconvenient) and involved heirs will be punished to the fullest extent of the law.

Furthermore, if any parties (related or non-related) escape the punishments outlined herein, they will be severely punished to the fullest extent of a new revised law that (1) expands the statement "fullest extent of the law" to encompass an infinite duration of infinite punishments and (2) exacts said punishments upon all parties (related or non-related).

# The Schrödinger License r3

Copyright 2013-2016 Benjamin Lancaster Keith

The Schrödinger License is licensed under the terms of The Schrödinger License.

## Definitions

1. "Observe" is defined in the quantum physics sense of the term.

2. "Observer" is defined as one who observes.

3. "All material" is defined as everything influenced in any fashion by an observer of licensed material after the observer has observed the licensed material, including, but not limited to, any derivative, creative, or destructive works, any tangible or intangible things the observer comes in contact with, any tangible or intangible things that come in contact with things that the observer has come in contact with, any tangible or intangible things that come in contact with things that come in contact with things that the observer has come in contact with, to an infinite level of recursion.

## Terms

1. The licensed material may not be observed.

2. The licensed material may not simultaneously be observed and not observed.

3. The licensed material must simultaneously be observed and not observed.

4. Observing the licensed material will require the observer to license all material under The Schrödinger License.

## Exceptions

1. The Schrödinger License does not apply if the observer is a Schrödinger's Cat currently being observed in a Schrödinger's Box experiment.

2. The Schrödinger License does not apply to itself when The Schrödinger License is the object of discussion.

## Revisions

r3: Added Copyright message. If you can find a way to modify the Schrödinger License without breaking the license, you have the Schrödinger License's owner's permission to do so.

r2: Added Exception 2. The Schrödinger License can now be discussed and linked to for discussion without applying the license terms to The Schrödinger License, when The Schrödinger License is the subject of the discussion.

r1: Added Exception 1.

r0: Initial release.

## Historical note

Because the Schrödinger License r0 was released without the exception added in r2, everything in the light cone of commit https://github.com/benlk/misc-licenses/commit/0bbee5aff743e531e34bc101d133de8a748de874 is subject to r0 of the Schrödinger License. If you are not sure whether you are covered by r0 of this license, calculate the time distance from 2:15 a.m. EDT July 29 2013 to the current time, multiply that by the speed of light, and draw a sphere with that radius centered on the position of North America at 2:15 a.m. EDT July 29 2013. If you are within that sphere, you are covered by the license. If you were present on Earth at that time, you are covered by the license.
