   thank you for your contributions to the community.
   your lack of interest (IIUC) in getting involved in copyright enforcement efforts is indeed a reasonable rationale to go for a pushover license.
   I take it you don't object to strong copylefts, though, and perhaps you even appreciate them and the additional value and protection they bring to the community. I wonder if you've considered donating copyrights to organizations committed to defending users' freedoms, that could then take care of the enforcement you're not interested in taking part of, while bringing the community the additional assurances of copyleft

     if you do go for a license you perceive as copyleft, please make sure you choose one that defends users' freedoms, rather than one that uses a twisted notion of copyleft to undermine them

     @lxo I definitely don't object to copylefts! My statement in support of SSPL, which is merely, a stronger copyleft, should indicate that somewhat. ;)

     I will probably visit the possibility of using a copyleft license if I build something of substantial value. The vast majority of my code is either trivial, connective tissue barey worth its own license, or objectively bad code that I happen to be fond of using.
