Don't Be
A Dick
Do whatever you want with this product. Modify it, distribute it, build on top of it — for personal or commercial projects. Make it into something completely different. Never mention the original author. All of that is fine.
What you cannot do is cause harm with it.
"If you're wondering whether
what you're doing is okay —
it probably isn't."
Use it. Break it.
Build something new.
This work is yours to use, adapt, remix, and build upon. Personal projects, commercial products, derivative works — all welcome.
Using it as a building block for something of your own is exactly what it's meant for.
Don't claim it.
Don't aim it.
Passing this off as your own creation is being a dick.
Using it to harm, deceive, humiliate, or exploit others is also being a dick.
Simple, isn't it?
None.
And that's the point.
This license will never hold up in court. It's not meant to.
This is a moral contract, not a legal one. It says something about who you are when you use it.
The real judge is public opinion, and on the internet, words spread fast.
This license shouldn't exist.
It's all common sense.
