License stuff came up the other day. Got me wondering.
Could I use something like the mit or GPL license, but add a requirement that anyone that uses the software had to send me a pic of their butthole?
What is the use case for this GPL + bhole license?
Memes mostly. It world also need to have an age of majority clause.
Then if the library actually gets picked up somewhere it would be a good extortion tactic.
They can’t just contain “any bullcrap you want”.
Contracts need to follow the set of rules in your country that dictate what can and can’t be enforced. It’s an entire branch of law.
If you try and pull something like OP is suggesting, the worst case scenario is that it may render the contract an unlawful document and therefore void.
I imagine in most places things like what OP is suggesting would get laughed out of court.
You can have some fun though. I heard of one guy who, as a recruitment bonus, insisted that it be included in his contract that he receive an office desk made entirely of Lego.
You can write almost any bull crap you want, as long as it obviously doesn’t go up against some law and has the main contract elements.
An unenforceable aspect of a contract, won’t void the entire contract if it goes to court, unless it’s the main aspect of the contract.
Well that depends on the laws where you live but if you actually want the contract to be enforceable then yes, it needs to follow certain rules, and no, you can’t just “write any bullcrap”.
