+* Reason
+
+I got tired of software licenses.  I don't mind them, and I don't have anything
+against copyleft -- it's a tool, and it can be effective in some cases -- but
+for my own projects, I just want to publish something that people can use.
+
+I still ask for attribution, but I do it in a nice way, and not with the
+implicit threat of a license.  If someone doesn't attribute me, it makes no
+difference to me whether they have to because of a license; I'm not going to do
+anything about it anyway.
+
+I guess that some people consider e.g. CC BY-SA a recognizable symbol and that
+its law stuff is secondary.  I can follow that thought, but I just got tired of
+it.
+
+Some might not want to integrate WTFPL code into their project, but fuck them.
+
+All that being said, I will work in any free software and free culture project
+no matter what license they use.  WTFPL is just for my junk.
