  1. Large list... by djcapelis · · Score: 2

    With all the little small OSS licenses, this list must be huge... So many licesenses have been made I think no project will need to roll there own. Now they don't even have to research beyond one site.

    An automatic license generation website. You just
    fill in what you want, check some boxes, come up
    with a snappy name, and get your new license mailed
    to you. Kinda like those lame make your own computer
    virus programs, but lamer. I'd make myself a boobies
    license that required boobie pics before you could
    look at source. Kinda like an NDT&AA.
