<h2>About</h2>
<p>This license is weird and it's very much meant to be like this. The reason for that is the usual: boredom. At that
time I was focused on researching the licensing of my work (although I rarely publish it) and the trends regarding this
matter. I usually worked with <a href="https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT">MIT</a> or
<a href="https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html">GPL-2.0</a>. Being myself, I decided to take an
entirely different approach to the licensing and push it to the extreme, while preserving my own ideas that were most
likely under heavy influence of some parts of anarchism. That's how the first version was written. Some time later I
revisited it to be more general and not just software specific.
<p>The license is aimed at publishers who don't care and publish for people who don't care. As long as you care or are
forced to care, this license will potentially cause and not cause any problems at the same time, unless the author wants
to cooperate with you. It's a stupid gimmick, but I would love to see how it would behave in real world.
<p>As of now (<time>2021-01-06</time>), it's the first time it's published and so far there are no works recorded that
use this license. In other words, it's not tested in court or even reviewed by actual lawyers (I'm but a mere code
monkey).
<p>Please, feel free to contact me with any feedback regarding this license or if you use it anywhere.
