TheGNU All-permissive License is a lax,permissive (non-copyleft)free softwarelicense, compatible with theGNU General Public License, recommended by theFree Software Foundation forREADME and other small supporting files (under 300 lines long).[2][3]
It is a minimal license, composed of only two paragraphs, that normally covers single files rather than entire projects (although it is possible to replace the word "file" with "project" or "software" in the text). Its main purpose is to license minor files that do not need to be covered by theGNU General Public License inGPL-licensed projects.
TheSPDX identifier for this license isFSFAP.[1]
The full text of the license is the following:[1][4]
Copyright <YEAR>, <AUTHORS>Copying and distribution of this file, with or without modification, are permitted in any medium without royalty, provided the copyright notice and this notice are preserved. This file is offered as-is, without any warranty.
Older versions of this license did not have the second sentence with the express warranty disclaimer.[2]
The Æsthetic Permissive License[5] has been derived from a combination of the GNU All-permissive License and theFair License.[6]
... This is a lax, permissive non-copyleft free software license, compatible with the GNU GPL. It is sometimes ambiguously referred to as the MIT License. ...
Copyright <Year>, <Entity Name and Optional Metadata>
Copying and distribution of this work, with or without modification, are permitted provided this entire instrument is preserved as a notice.
DISCLAIMER: THIS WORK IS WITHOUT WARRANTY.
Spurred on by Noah Slater, who volunteered to make a Debian package out of Phenny if I picked a license, I combined these two together [theFSAPandFairlicenses] to cover up their faults whilst making them shorter, and came up with the Æsthetic Permissive License.
