and now I'm here wondering whether the WTFPL could be interpreted as having an implicit patent waiver (you can't do what the * you want if you have restricted by patents), and thus having been the best choice for this usecase all this time :D
(yes, an *explicit* patent waiver would be better, I know. but then, anybody who has the rights to a patent is not going to get anywhere close to the WTFPL anyway, I expect)
