That's not actually public domain... nor does it comply with any of the commonly accepted definitions of free software or open source software (hint: "non-commercial").

If you don't mind me saying, I like the ISC License. You might have made up your mind already, but heh.

It is illegal to use reverse-engineered game software for commercial purposes. If we use the ISC, we'll have to modify it to say so.

EDIT:
Illegal use really isn't something that needs to be said, is it? Well, I've taken the ISC and modified it only to remove the "requirement" of posting the copyright and notice in any derived source files. I replaced that part with ensuring "original authorship" is not misrepresented.

Give that a look-over and we'll see about changing the license.

(My previous post over-looked a sentence of yours; if you saw it, ignore it)

If that's what you really want, then I guess it's perfect. If only it were easier to put it in the public domain ... (in the United States at least, legally putting something in the public domain is harder than simply slapping ISC or WTFPL on it ).

That ISC paragraph has a better disclaimer, so I'll probably use it.

Now that we've had this discussion about source code licensing, will you be submitting any source code for the project?

I don't know yet; I might do some documentation though if I have time.

I've changed the license to reflect the edited ISC draft. This is effective immediately an applies to all source code posted in this "Community F-Zero X Editor" forum at the time of this post.

The alt attribute should be used to give a short description
of an image; longer descriptions should be given with the
longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.
These measures are needed for people using non-graphical browsers.

For further advice on how to make your pages accessible
see http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL.
You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and
properties such as its size and color. This will reduce
the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
