The most awesome license ever. (github.com/voxdolo)

From the SQLite source code:

The author disclaims copyright to this source code. In place of a legal notice, here is a blessing:

    May you do good and not evil.
    May you find forgiveness for yourself and forgive others.
    May you share freely, never taking more than you give.


The license home page is http://www.wtfpl.net/ .


If by awesome you mean mistaking profanity for wit, yes it's the most awesome license ever.


I can't help but wonder about the license only mentioning the license document itself. Rights to use or modification the work of the source code of project aren't referenced in the license. So despite what seems like the intent of the author, could there be a possibility that rights to the work associated with the license hasn't been granted at all? Of course, lawyers never split hairs like that right?
