+The "No problem Bugroff" license.
+
+Richard Stallman of the Free Software Foundation devised, in addition
+to some marvelous software, the GNU General Public License (GPL for
+short). Or the CopyLeft it is sometimes called.
+
+It is quite a revolutionary document, using the "copyright" tool to to
+protect your right to use free software.
+
+Unfortunately using copyright to protect free software is a lot like
+using a Jackal to guard the hens.
+
+In fact, various inconveniences relating to this have resulted in
+modifications such as the LGPL (Library General Public License) and
+more recently the NPL (Netscape Public License)
+
+I call these matters mere inconveniences, the real damage will occur
+when the Jackal's, (sorry, I mean lawyers), actually get to test the
+GPL in court for the first time.
+
+Thus enter my version.
+
+Its very simple.
+
+Entirely consistent.
+
+Completely unrestrictive.
+
+Easy to apply.
+
+The "No problem Bugroff" license is as follows...
+
+The answer to any and every question relating to the copyright,
+patents, legal issues of Bugroff licensed software is....
+
+Sure, No problem. Don't worry, be happy. Now bugger off.
+
+All portions of this license are important..
+
+ * "Sure, no problem." Gives you complete freedom. I mean it. Utterly
+ complete. A bit of a joke really. You have complete freedom anyway.
+ * "Don't worry, be happy." Apart from being good advice and a good
+ song, it also says :- No matter what anyone else says or does, you
+ still have complete freedom.
+ * Now bugger off. The only way to get rid of pushy Jackals is to
+ ignore them and not feed them. The GPL is just begging somebody to
+ take it to court. Can't you just see it. Exactly the same thing
+ that happened when some twit (not Linus) registered Linux as his
+ own personal trademark. People got upset, started a fund, and
+ hired, off all ruddy things, a Jackal to try and defend the
+ chicken! Who really benefits from this trademark / patent /
+ copyright thing anyway? The lawyers. Who made it up in the first
+ place? The lawyers.
+
+OK so the last part of the license sounds a bit harsh, but seriously
+folks, if you are a :-
+
+ * Lawyer asking these legalese questions... You should go off and
+ learn an honest trade that will actually contribute to life instead
+ of draining it.
+ * Programmer asking these legalese questions... You have amazingly
+ powerful tools in your hands and mind, use them to ask and answer
+ the worthwhile questions of life, the universe and everything. Stop
+ mucking about with such legal nonsense and get back to programming.
+ * User/reader asking these question... Don't worry. Go off and be
+ happy. Have fun. Enjoy what has been created for you.
