The Not Legal Advice Minimal Copyleft Public License 

This software is subject to copyright, but you may use, modify, and distribute it without prior agreement under the following terms:
1. You must extend these terms to anyone to whom you distribute the software.
2. If you modify the software, your modifications must remain under these terms.
3. If you distribute a binary (not for modification) form of the software, you must also distribute the source (intended for modification) form.

It's probably missing something important/doing something wrong. Please use a real public license, not this.

@alexbuzzbee It's missing a lot. Various jursidictions have consumer protections and legal obligations which aren't disclaimed by terms like "everything" unless you enumerate them.

That's why there's that big chunk of boldface text at the bottom of even short licenses like opensource.org/licenses/BSD-2-

(And, even then, 2-clause BSD isn't ideal because it's US-centric enough to be questionable about whether it protects the developer from certain obligations present in the EU but not the US)

@ssokolow Thank you for giving me concrete problems to replace my vague idea that "it's probably wrong."
