>When I publish code I don't pick any license. It's just free for anyone to use for whatever.

That's not good in all cases as in some jurisdictions it means that any use is forbidden...

I just don't care about jurisdictions or legal frameworks. I just care about technology.

It's also really only a big thing in the US. Here in Europe things are usually settled amicably and the courts frown on people taking up their time with bullshit. They only really get involved if all else fails and only really for businesses. Nobody really cares about software licensing except the top 200 companies.

I'm admittedly a bit biased though. Unfortunately I sometimes have to deal with our internal legal dept. in the US (I'm based in Europe) and I find them such nasty people to deal with. Always really pushy. This made me hate them and their trade.
