As a general rule I prefer to make my projects open source, -and for that purpose something like the <a href="https://unlicense.org/" class="external">Unlicense -</a> is often sufficient. But if I don't want to put my work in the public domain immediately, then -I have to make use of a <a href="https://www.copyleft.org/" class="external">copyleft</a> license. -And all of the ones currently available are both incredibly, unnecessarily verbose, and fail to -address the primary failing of modern copyright law, which is the unreasonably long term lengths. -</p> - -<p>So after a considerable amount of thought, I've written my own. (I can hear those with legal -knowledge wailing and gnashing their teeth already.) Care has been taken to mimic the phrasing used -in popular existing licenses where possible. I've also kept it as simple and as straightforward as I -can make it. So hopefully there are no loopholes and it's exactly as it appears: a simple weak -copyleft license which places older parts of a work under a public domain disclaimer in a reasonable -timeframe.</p> - -<p>The full text is as follows:</p> -<div class="precontain"> -<pre> -SUNSET LICENSE -Version 1.0, June 2017 - -1.

A modified version of this work must be clearly labeled as such. - -4. Derivative works must also be licensed under this license or a license of -equivalent terms.
