I spent some time tweaking it with a lawyer that is expert in IP and Free Software licensing.

Obviously he noticed how the wording makes it formally violate the freedom zero: you must NOT use the Hack to restrict the rights granted by the license to third parties.

But that's part of the Hacking License being an hack itself: it's designed to be incompatible with any definition of freedom that reduces commons to garbage anybody can exploit.

So while a judge would enforce it as a wrap contract and a license, it is neither compatible with (yeah!) nor with (sadly, but inevitably).

Unfortunately the native culture of tainted in subtle ways that made it easy for corporations to exploit the work of .

They always find a way, as has shown.

The is designed to keep not only hackers work in the commons, but also any derivative work and any work dependent on it.

To make ALL knowledge free for people who share what they learn.
