Sunset License

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.
