License stuff came up the other day. Got me wondering.
Could I use something like the mit or GPL license, but add a requirement that anyone that uses the software had to send me a pic of their butthole?
What is the use case for this GPL + bhole license?
Memes mostly. It world also need to have an age of majority clause.
Then if the library actually gets picked up somewhere it would be a good extortion tactic.
Well that depends on the laws where you live but if you actually want the contract to be enforceable then yes, it needs to follow certain rules, and no, you can’t just “write any bullcrap”.
But you can write whatever crap you want, it can’t just be the basis of the entire contract.
Let’s say I write a contract for you to supply me bricks for 10 years at a firm fixed price cost of $1 a brick, with an order limit of 100 million bricks. I could then add in elsewhere “if more than 5% of the bricks are damaged, you must supply me with one living unicorn.”
That whole contract doesn’t become void because unicorns do not exist. In fact, if it went to court a lawyer might even argue with a straight face that the supplier must provide something of equal value to a unicorn.
