What is WTFEAIPL?

07/11/26

DO WHAT THE FUCK YOU WANT TO (EXCLUDING ARTIFICIAL INTELLEGENCE) PUBLIC LICENSE (or WTFEAIPL for short) is a public license heavily based off of WTFPL by Sam Hocevar

The idea behind the original license is that you can do whatever the FUCK you want to do.

This is a nice license and I have used it in the past, but as someone who isn't a fan of LLMs (especially in the indieweb space), I decided to make a modified version of it.

You can read it, copy it, etc here
