‘Don’t Be A Dumbass’ Free License
- I disclaim all liability- I’m going to do it in the end again in ‘legalese’. But basically- no warranty, use at your own risk, don’t sue me. No matter what. It’s entirely possible that even looking at the source code will make your server crash. The code itself shows signs that it may spontaneously achieve sentience, erupt from your computer screen, rape your dog, steal your money and chop your head off with an ax. I may not be held liable for anything- it’s all on YOU. Frankly, I’m amazed anyone has the guts to actually download this stuff.
- You may NOT distribute this software without the express written permission of the author. (Free as in beer, not as in speech.)
- You MAY alter the source code to your heart’s content. In fact, I advise you to do so.
- You MAY alter the source code for other people- for free or for pay.
- You MAY send me gobs of money- and I’ll eventually stick a paypal button on here so you can do so. You don’t have to, though. Also, I will accept a pony in lieu of cash.

IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES; LOSS OF USE, DATA, OR PROFITS; OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION) HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OF THIS SOFTWARE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.
Contract law was my least favorite law class. Can you tell? ‘Badges? We don’t need no stink’n badges!’
