What is WTFPL?
The WTFPL (Do What the Fuck You Want to Public License) is an extremely permissive software license that allows users unlimited freedom with the software covered under the license.
Some key aspects of the WTFPL include:
- Users can use, modify, distribute and sell the software however they see fit, without any restrictions.
- There are no limitations on usage, no required attributions and no warranty provided.
- It is compatible with many other free software licenses.
- The humorously worded license gets straight to the point - do anything you want with the software.
- It was created as a parody of the GPL license to emphasize software freedom to the extreme.
- While allowing unlimited permissions, the legal strength and enforceability are less clear.
- Recommended only for trivial software where legal protection isn't a big concern.
In summary, the WTFPL grants extremely broad rights for software usage, modification and distribution with no strings attached. The unconventional name and approach emphasizes the spirit of open source taken to the extreme.
