The Beerware-licence is also my favorite. Unfortunaly it is not
very well-known, maybe wee should advocate more for it :-)

Remind me of this one.

The special GPL'kind of free speach:

One industrial tycoon to another, while introducing his protege:
Tycoon A: "I have granted this young man completely freedom to speach".
Tycoon B: "Why on earth have you done that".
Tycoon A: "He thinks the same way as i do".
