# There is a long ongoing battle between GPL zealots and BSD fanatics,
# about which license type is the most free of the two. In fact, both
# license types have unacceptable obnoxious clauses (such as reproducing
# a huge disclaimer that is written in all caps) that severely restrain
# our freedoms. The WTFPL can solve this problem.
#
# When analysing whether a license is free or not, you usually check
# that it allows free usage, modification and redistribution. Then you
# check that the additional restrictions do not impair fundamental
# freedoms. The WTFPL renders this task trivial: it allows everything
# and has no additional restrictions. How could life be easier? You just
# DO WHAT THE FUCK YOU WANT TO.
