The "Fork Off" Public License

  • Are you an author of cost-free open-source software?
  • Are you tired of assholes in your inbox asking for this, that, and the other?
  • Are you tired of even nice people in your inbox?
  • Are you tired of feature requests with no patches attached?
  • Are you tired of being asked for ETAs on open issues?
  • Are you tired of filing issues?
  • Are you tired of software licenses and determining compatibility between them?
  • ARE YOU JUST TIRED?!

Presenting: the "Fork Off" Public License, wherein you can encourage folks to spend their own time and effort maintaining software for free, instead!

Howdy from the author

This is obviously a joke license, please enjoy it as such, and ideally, use it only as a dual-license alongside some real license of your choosing (I recommend CC0-1.0, ISC, or MPL-2.0, for copyfree, permissive, and copyleft, respectively). I hope it makes you laugh just a little as you delete spammers and trollers from your IRC room... and your inbox... and you contemplate a life shoveling pig shit on a farm, far from any computers, ever again. Thank you for sharing your work and your art with the world, and I hope you continue to do so - and that your work outlives your maintainership of it in some fork, somewhere!
