Software licenses bother me. As a general rule I prefer to make my projects open source, -and for that purpose something like the Unlicense - 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 copyleft 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. -

- -

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.

The full text is as follows:

-
-
-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.
-
-
- -

The git repository also contains an accompanying rationale and a simple logo I threw together. In -the future, all my projects will either use this license or the Unlicense. Works I've already -created will be relicensed as appropriate.
