I spent the weekend touching up some things on listfoo and decided to just package up the ZIP and release it as open source.

You can read more about the project and download the bits and run your own crappy list services now! Yay ponies!

I spent a good 5 seconds mulling over the licensing options (GPL, LGPL, BSD, MIT), and I decided to go with the best candidate: WTFPL - Do What The Fuck You Want To Public License.

I feel pretty confident with my choice. I really like the simplicity of the license:


DO WHAT THE FUCK YOU WANT TO PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2, December 2004

Copyright (C) 2004 Sam Hocevar
14 rue de Plaisance, 75014 Paris, France
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim or modified
copies of this license document, and changing it is allowed as long
as the name is changed.

DO WHAT THE FUCK YOU WANT TO PUBLIC LICENSE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION

0. You just DO WHAT THE FUCK YOU WANT TO.


This marks my first contribution to the OSS community (outside of MT, obviously). I hope to release swarmf.com under the same license, assuming I ever find the time to work on it.
