From: Jed Barber 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.29/6/2017

The full text is as follows:
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.
