A friend of mine recently burned out on maintaining open-source software and communities, and had been half-joking for a while that they wanted a sassy license to the effect of “I release this code for free, take it or leave it, or go do it yourself”.

Tonight I wrote that license for and with him. Please enjoy the “Fork Off” Public License, v0.9: https://github.com/klardotsh/fork-off-public-license

(I’ll tag a v1.0 after any feedback y’all might have to clarify things or make it funnier. Forking it is also of course ok.)
