+# Anti-abuse license
+
+## Rationale
+
+The purpose of this license is to give end-users and developers maximal
+freedom to use this software while preventing the authors from being
+abused by powerful middle-men that repackage software for convenient
+installation by users. Such potentially abusive middle-men include in
+particular Linux distributions and similar centralising software
+distribution schemes developed for other operating systems.
+The ethos of this license is *bollocks to copyright and distributions!*
+
+## Rules
+
+This software is distributed without any warranty whatsoever.
+
+If you redistribute modified versions of this software to the public,
+you must clearly mark them as modified.
+
+If you redistribute this software to the public as part of a large
+collection of software with the purpose of providing end-users with
+a convenient installation method, you must do one of the following:
+
+(a) Always redistribute the **unmodified** and **latest** version
+provided by the authors. If the lead author releases a new version (on a
+specific branch, such as 'stable' or 'development'), you must promptly
+make that new version the default version offered to your users (on
+that specific branch).
+
+(b) Rename the software, and make it obvious that your modified or obsolete
+software is in no way connected to the authors of the original software.
+The users of your version should under no circumstances be under the 
+illusion that they can contact the lead author or any of the authors
+of the original software if they have any complaints or queries.
+
+(c) Do not in any way directly expose this software to your users. 
+
+Otherwise, do whatever you want with this software. In particular, you may
+freely use the software as part of other projects, and redistribute to
+the public archival copies of the software (as long as your archive cannot
+be considered a “convenient installation method” that will be governed by
+the rules above).
