I +actually really enjoy the WTFPL! But I decided that it is a bit too informal +for my taste, and so, based on a review of the existing +public-domain-equivalent licenses, I have chosen 0BSD going forward. + +I have noticed that some other TempleOS-related projects have used the +Unlicense, but the Open Source Initiative has noted that it is not very +well-written, hence why I am not using it for my project. + +0BSD, like the WTFPL, is a public-domain-equivalent license, perfect for a +TempleOS-related project (as it maintains Terry A. Davis' vision of TempleOS +being public-domain, though that claim would likely be legally unsound). + 2026-05-26: I found a copy-paste error while testing my driver code on my main TOS machine (a Dell OptiPlex 755 Mini Tower).
