mid: /m/0fr82n notable type: /computer/content_license notable for: /computer/content_license on the web: wikipedia.org

The WTFPL is an extremely permissive way of licensing intellectual property rights, most commonly used as a permissive free software license. It is essentially no different from dedication to the public domain. The original Version 1.0 license, released March 2000, was written by Banlu Kemiyatorn who used it for Window Maker artwork. Sam Hocevar, a French programmer who was the Debian project leader from 17 April 2007 to 16 April 2008, wrote version 2.0. It allows for redistribution and modification of the software under any terms—licensees are encouraged to "do what the fuck [they] want to". The license was approved as a GPL-compatible free software license by the Free Software Foundation. Wikipedia [ - ]
