PGP PLUS

Are the developers okay with the current copyright?

Asked by DarkLinkXXXX

Currently, the license is set to "Anti Copyright 2013" to reflect my political standpoint on copyright law. But I was wondering, would any of those joining this project prefer something different?

I prefer using a standard open source license, I think it would attract more developers and users having a well known, widely used license

#1 Okay. Is the WTFPL fine with you? (Sorry, I prefer to avoid legal entanglements ;)

So what should the license be instead?

For my own projects, I'll use the Affero GPL v3, if I'm at all concerned about keeping the distribution of the application as a hosted service free and open source. If that's not such a big deal for the project, I like the MIT or BSD license. MIT is like the WTFPL without the colorful language but better recognition.

As colorful as the WTFPL license is - I agree that we should use a more "standard" license so that the project will be taken seriously. :)

 It's CC0 now. Better?

Any of the others licences mentioned MIT, AGPL3, BSD and CC0 are ok for me
