The WTFPL is an all-purpose license and does not cover only computer programs; it can be used for artwork, documentation and so on. As such, it only covers copying, distribution and modification. If you want to add a no warranty clause for a program, you may use the following wording in your source code:

Jul 27, 2015 · The WTFPL is a license that basically puts the work licensed with it under Public Domain. That is possible and there are multiple ways to do so. Basically putting a work into public domain allows everyone to use it as he sees fit. That is the same as the WTFPL claims. This also fulfills your requirements as you put them in the OP. Acknowledgement

Unlike Public Domain, the WTFPL is actually a license, and confers rights to the user of the software as such, whereas Public Domain doesn't confer any rights, but is merely an acknowledgement that no rights are asserted.

Jan 7, 2015 · The WTFPL lets you relicense the work under any other license. To be a bit more clear about how you would change the WTFPL itself, let's look at the WTFPL: In sections 1 and 3, you'll need to perform the equivalent of this sed command: s/FUCK/FRAK/g Note that this changes the name of the license to DO WHAT THE FRAK YOU WANT TO PUBLIC LICENSE

Nov 21, 2022 · This is also a good time to consider that the WTFPL is a crayon license, a joke, a shitpost. It was not drafted as a serious license, and unclear use of terms is consequence of that. Even having an FAQ is part of parodying the GPL. While it is probably safe to use WTFPL-covered software, licensing new software under it should be avoided.

Jun 20, 2016 · WTFPL is meant to be freely used by anyone (almost public domain). Your best defense is to make important substantial changes to your re-licensed GPLv3+ code so that a copycat using the original WTFPL code will be not be able to use all of your improvements

Mar 18, 2022 · I never publically released it as WTFPL, even though it is publically known to have been released under that license in private. But every derivative has to come from his GPL licensed repository, which is the only one publically available. But still, there it's publically written that I originally wrote it under WTFPL.

There are a few well established licenses that are basically equivalent to the WTFPL plus a warranty disclaimer, you can choose from: Unlicense - OSI approved - cf. choosealicense.com; 0BSD - Zero-Clause BSD - OSI approved; MIT-0 - MIT No Attribution - OSI approved
