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.

In reality, no one worth extorting is going to use a non OSI approved license (or license and exception).

That said, the JSON license says JSON must not be used for evil. Is it any coincidence Google made protobuf as a JSON alternative??
