I stumbled across a project and saw this Unlicense:
There is a long post from the creator of this license, it's too long and I didn't read it all. The website Unlicense.org isn't accessible as of writing, but I found the source code of the website. There is also a Google Group for discussions.
I don't know if this Unlicense is dying since it didn't get approved by OSI or FSF. But I prefer WTFPL over Unlicense, although "Unlicense" sounds cool, but "WTF" is more awesome.
I don't care much about licensing (and I know pretty much nothing about it) when I intentionally place my work into Public Domain. Just let everyone do WTF they want to my stuff. Unfortunately, Public Domain isn't covered by law in everywhere, therefore you need to license your work in order to make sure you can have same effect as if you put works into Public Domain.
