libcaca.

I suspect that would be similar to the decss tshirts, or the decss haiku, or the dramatic readings or songs: http://decss.zoy.org/
The copyleft.net decss tshirts did get sued, but I don't know what the outcome was. I though it come out in their favor, but that site is long gone now.

It's actually more like Abuse or Teeworlds

Take the "last measure" against the spyware using this Removal tool

Time to take the "last measure" against them.

My favorite license is the WTFPL license. http://sam.zoy.org/wtfpl/

Most BSD style licenses are unencumbered enough that you can relicense direct derivatives (not just composite works) under practically any terms you want.

But you cannot remove the copyright notice, as a rule, if you are distributing it in source code form, nor can you remove the license terms. All BSD licenses contain this clause:

Redistributions of source code must retain the above copyright notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer.

I'm not aware of any software licenses that do not contain similar provisions except for the WTFPL.

You can download it here

One of my projects was released under the WTFPL: http://sam.zoy.org/wtfpl/
 
I'm not exactly sure what this entails other than it releases me from liability if someone else uses it. There are so many hobbyist level projects these days that someone is probably replicating your project's purpose under a different codebase it doesn't really matter what you licence it under - you're lucky to get 2-3 people using your project's code. My other project got released under "the Berkeley licence" simply because my father went to school there years ago, and it was relatively short. Maybe I should make a "free licence roulette" website to help other hobbyist projects pick random licences.
 
TL;DR most hobbyist developers only include a licence as a formality

does the U.S. senate really have the authority to change in employment contracts for the worse?

No, the US Congress is constrained to a narrow set of defined powers by the US Constitution. We, the People from which their just power derives, only granted them those narrow powers, to keep them from running amok in society (like interfering in private contracts and whatnot).

But, we also gave them a monopoly on violence, so they just shit on that Constitution daily and interpret it as the WTFPL.

I used the WTFPL - Do What The Fuck You Want To Public License for my thesis, as did a friend. It is available here:

http://sam.zoy.org/wtfpl/

Highly recommend it.

But what about the hotbabe program?

What about the hotbabe program plus some extra themes?

the WTFPL licence.

A few months ago I was working on a PHPmotion site that utilized libcaca and aalib, which both mplayer and vlc use to achieve this effect. I've been stalling on it to work on other, more important projects, but maybe I'll revive it now, since this might become popular...

True, but the output looks like crap.

I've written an informative journal on this very subject, located here.

To call Stallman a kook and crackpot would be overly flattering. He isn't concerned with "freedom", he is only interested in pushing a personal agenda. That's what the GPL is really all about. If you truly believe in software freedom then you absolutely reject the entire notion of software licensing.

Have you ever bought a book? Furniture? Clothing? A toaster, microwave or television? Did you have to agree to a license before you could use any of these items? NO. If you want software freedom, then there is only one license -- no license at all. Here's the software, you are free do do what you want.

The makers of proprietary software force you to agree to a massive, complicated license before you can use their products because they want to control and restrict what you can do. Let's not pretend that GPL software is any different.

Ah yes, the WTFPL.

In that case you should love the WTFPL.

The excuse that its takes up too much room does not work when considering subtitles.

Actually, it kinda does.

DVD subtitles aren't highly-compressible text, and they're not MPEG / JPEG compressed video or images either.

They're stored as run-length encoded (RLE) bitmaps and, as such, can take up quite a bit more room than you may expect. On top of that, IIRC there's a limit in the DVD spec on how many private streams can be included in the container (.VOB), and a practical limit on the bitrate available off the disc (total of all video (including alternate angles, etc) + all audio + all private streams must be less than ~10.8mbps (with video alone being limited to a max of ~9.8mbps)).

There's a project that already does most of that:
http://sam.zoy.org/lmos/
although be sure to change the default included placeholder media.

Of course it runs NetBSD...

People should protest outside the courthouse. It's time to go through the 42 ways to distribute DECSS again. What about a tie with the code on it?

It should be "Should expensive games be better".

FYI: Indie =/= Good

This is also an example of a "indie game".

It's looking quite impressive. I'm normally not much into games like this, but I may give it a shot when this comes out.

No, more like this.

There's never any love for the WTFPL. It's like cc0 for software: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WTFPL http://sam.zoy.org/wtfpl/

Isn't that the same as the WTFPL licence ?

Is this any better or worse than, say, the Do What The Fuck You Want To license? (aside from having a more family friendly name)

I was going to post something that would add to the conversation, but then you posted a link whoring out your stupid blog so I just decided to be a troll and whore out my web-sight as well. Enjoy!

I'd be surprised if you could. You cannot include images in SMS messages, only MMS messages. ;)

Of course you can, you just have to get a phone that you can install libcaca on.

Well, flyingfsck, you lil' scamp, let us not forget computers *are* wonderful tools but for most subjects, students learn at that point in their lives (middle/high school in the US), computers aren't necessary. Think about your breathing the primary subjects - Math, Science, and Literature/Writing - where do you see the benefits in using computers? Obviously for English classes, having access to computers to type papers is handy, but it's hardly necessary unlike your breathing. Computers can be used in math to help illustrate concepts, but you don't want the students using computers to do their work, otherwise they won't know how to do it without them. And much of science is math - again, not something you want students using computers for.

BTW, this is mfh positing as an AC /b/tard for oblivious reasons of the karmic now-ness. Or something. Anyway, peace out.

This is such a low-quality post that I have to wonder if you're not really a person at all but someone's failed idea of a Turing test. Really, it's not even worth modding down.

Why are our tax dollars being paid to Wackenhut Corp to drive hundreds of empty buses around Tucson AZ in the dead of night? Assuming it's true (I may get down to Tucson to have a look myself pretty soon), it seems like a terrible waste of taxes.
