Russell's OSS Prototype License.
Russell Beattie We need a license that says something like "I agree, by using this code, never to bug author with any questions, comments, thanks or support-related issues after TWO months of release date when said author has moved on to other more interesting things to work on."
Open source is not like a second unpaid job for me, as Russell suggested, because there is no real pressure for me to do anything. I could run off to the islands at any time and live off of coconut water and breadfruit if I wanted. Well, maybe not, but Roller is not the thing that is stopping me. Those questions, comments, thanks, and support issues are not irritants. They keep me interested. Still, I like Russell's OSS Prototype License idea. There is a place for that too.
