    Just writing words doesn’t make it legally binding. Anyone who reads this comment owes me $1,000,000 USD.

              What’s the opposite of a loophole? That’s what student loans are.

        If anyone I owe money to reads this, the debt is reversed.

        I’ll take the kiss though

      Ofcourse its legally binding. If you include a license text with your own code on a platform that doesnt have a clause to license your code under different terms, then that license is legally valid.

      But writing the license yourself without making sure that it doesnt allow for any legal loopholes is a bad idea.

      You declaring a debt isn’t meaningful because you don’t have legal authority to do so.

      A licence statement is describing in what way you’re granting permission for something you do have the right to control, which makes it meaningful

      What the fuck are you talking about? Do you think the license being used is not legally binding? What constitutes as legally binding to you?
