For real though, the shortest license is probably the WTFPL:
- You just DO WHAT THE FUCK YOU WANT TO.
Might've used it a couple of times myself.
You wouldn't believe the amount of legal ink that has been spilled trying to work out what the fuck the Do What The Fuck You Want To licence actually means, legally.
"You will now give me $40,000"
Agree
This is from the perspective of the company so you'd be 40k in the hole. You'd want something like "Upon agreement to the terms the licensee will receive forty thousand US dollars ($40,000) within ninety (90) from the licensor. There will be a penalty of one thousand US dollars ($1,000) for every day after that period if not paid."
The terms are that you have to insert your license agreement text? Man.
