    Assuming you are gay, have never committed a crime in your life and have illegally used software licensed with the “Be gay, do crime” license, you would have committed a crime, but because you did, you would have been following the license, which would mean you havent committed a crime, creating a paradox

    I like the hot potato license, but granting commit rights only to inhabitants of the milky way galaxy is too restrictive.

      I suppose in about 4.5 billion years the Andromedans can start committing also. (That or nobody can since it won’t be the Milky Way any more)

    sltar License

    Using this software requires giving your first child to the author so that they can “immolate it to the devil”.

    i’m feeling the urge to hide this clause in one of my projects. i’d change it to Rumpelstiltskin though.

      There’s no way this is how Rumpelstilzchen is spelled in English…

      duckduckgoes

      IT IS. English takes every single French word, keeps its spelling but mangles the pronunciation but for Rumpelstilzchen the pronunciation is somehow more relevant than the spelling? It makes some sense, but the ending “stiltskin” is an abomination.

      The meaning of “stilzchen” is “small stilt” by the way - so he should’ve be called “Grumblestilty” in English.

    in a community I was in a while ago, there was a license someone used called the “anyone but Jeff license” which banned people named Jeff from using the Minecraft mod

    The Nuclear Waste Software License is brilliant. Not only does it make the right impact when publishing random write-only code, it’s legally BSD so lawyers won’t be up your arse about it. In fact, it only strengthens the warranty disclaimer.

    Winamp Collaborative License

    A “source-available” license that says you can’t fork the project, which means it is illegal to click the fork button on GitHub (which is a violation of the GitHub ToS) and also makes it impossible to create any pull requests without push access to the original repo. Source

    Oh yeah, I remember that whole fiasco from a few months back.
