Licensing Hell

Monday, July 13th, 2009

So I’ve got this C++ Unit Testing Framework (which, due to naming clashes with everything under the sun I may end up having to call “Mikey’s C++ Unit Testing Framework” or “MFCUTF” for short.)

I was about to post this thing on google code when I got to the “select a license” section. Now the whole field of open source licensing is one of the most contemptible garbage heaps of legalese every to have been created by the godless manufactured profession that is contract law.

So go here and see what I mean: http://opensource.org/licenses/category

I have to pick one of these… or create my own, which is right out.

Frankly I want my license to consist largely of “Use it, but don’t be an asshole about it.”

Which unfortunately doesn’t seem to be an option.

I was back and forth with @kylaworld the other night and she mentioned The Cult. Or maybe she blip.fm‘ed it. Dunno.

I’m a big fan of The Cult, have been for almost 25 years.

As I’m also a perpetual fan of Pandora.com for most of my music needs I decided to see what would come up if I seeded a new station with “The Cult”.

Holy Righteous Shit!

The Cult
Alice In Chains
AC/DC
Zepplin
Soundgarden

It just keeps going.

Most of it is stuff I know cold. I’ve only down voted one tune (because frankly I’ve heard enough Guns & Roses for this lifetime.)

So here’s the link to the station. Give it a listen if you’re of a mind to.
