I made a new license! It's nearly as strict as actual copyright, but isn't.

I honestly don't know if it's okay to start using copyright for .EXEs that were from .SB2s…
But I believe it is, but if it isn't, there's a section that fixes that.
So here's the license. I created it myself, so yeah.

Alright, then. This was actually formatted for use in Notepad, so.

It's too useful information for us. Thanks for sharing it.

I'm confused, it is actual copyright

That's not a very nice license IMO. The following quotes are out of order, and should be read in Richard Stallman's voice if possible.

The software will be defined under the MIT License with the copy-holder being the “creator”.

I don't remember the “MIT” license saying anything about what is software or not, and who the creator is.

They encourage infringement of laws present in the United States of America.

There's a lot of silly laws (especially in the US and places where laws should exist but don't.

If the “GAME” is a Scratch file (.SB2 or .SPRITE2 file) then this license is null and void and shall be known under the MIT (Expat) license (https://www.debian.org/legal/licenses/mit) to avoid confliction with current licenses.

Is this on topic then? The license doesn't even apply to Scratch programs.

The term “creator” is hereby given to Alvin Neo Rhaman, whose alias shall be known in the “agreement” as abbuta2006.

What happens if someone else wants to use this license? Do you get ownership of it, or do we replace each copy of your name with ours? (Giving out your name is also a big no-no on the internet, too.)

** MANDATORY: All files infringing on the normal abbuta2006 license agreement must be deleted within 6 hours of its download. **

This is already implied in copyright – anything violating the agreement must not exist.

I believe the terms of use for scratch https://scratch.mit.edu/terms_of_use requres that the file (user generated content, section 4) is under CC BY-SA 2.0 license, so you cannot choose your own terms.

Am I right or wrong?
