   I like the Eclipse Public License 2.0 with the secondary licence notice attached to satisfy compatibility with GNU loicences. This in turn satisfies my basic requirements for software freedom but also filters out cretins who see EPL 2.0 listed under GNU-incompatbile category on FSF's website and don't bother to actually read when and why it can be incompatible, but doesn't have to be.

     @takao Please reconsider using a license full of corporate propaganda like imaginary property.
     
     Why not license under GPLv2-or-later or AGPLv3-or-later?

     @takao AGPLv3-or-later does filter idiots.
     
     Modifying the AGPLv3 is not allowed and adding further restrictions is not allowed either.

     @Suiseiseki GPL doesn't filter idiots

     @Suiseiseki though AGPLv3+NIGGER would serve the same purpose, perhaps I should look into it.

     @Suiseiseki it filters corporate idiots, not luser idiots. And you're right, a very unfortunate situation, as I believe all free software loicences would benefit from adding a clause containing the word "nigger" in them and forcing everything derived from it to include it as well.

     @takao A free software license that forces you to write something anti-freedom is a massive contradiction and would also infringe freedom 3.
     
     The GPLv3 for example doesn't require that any specific word is written in your derivative works - you have the option of releasing your files under a compatible license like Apache-2.0 with the source code.
