gollark: My projects are all under MIT because I want people to be able to use and adapt them easily.

gollark: Since if you care about obeying copyright law, and are using it for anything other than personal projects you're not likely to share, you can't safely use it or you might randomly be denied access (again, if this is actually enforceable).

gollark: It's awful for anyone intending to actually use it.

gollark: Since you could (if this is enforceable? I don't know) arbitrarily revoke permission to use it at any time.
