As a general rule I prefer to make my projects open source, +and for that purpose something like the <a href="https://unlicense.org/" target="_blank">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/">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> +<pre> +SUNSET LICENSE +Version 1.0, June 2017 + +1. You may copy, modify, use, sell, or distribute this work, verbatim or +modified, for any purpose. + +2. If you sell or distribute this work, whether verbatim or modified, you must +include a copy of this license, and you must make the source code available for +no extra charge. + +3. 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. As an exception, linking this work with another, whether +statically or dynamically, does not impose any license requirements on the +other work. + +5. If a minimum of 15 years have passed since the date of first publishing for +a part of this work, then that part is placed into the public domain and you +may do whatever you want with it, regardless of all other clauses. +</pre> + +<p>The license file, accompanying detailed rationale, and a simple logo I threw together can +all be found in <a href="/cgit/cgit.cgi/sunset.git/" target="_blank">this</a> repo.</p> + +<p>In the future, all my projects will either use this license or the Unlicense. Works I've +already created will be relicensed as appropriate.</p> + +{% endblock %} + + |
