I'm just killing myself laughing over here. B-]

Far more than any half-formed and modified link to Iwo Jima, "Do what thou 
wilt" can be an extremely offensive term. At least it should be to anyone who 
isn't into making actual (laughable, but actual) attempts at summoning 
demons, ritualized and stylized animal sacrifice, and eating Elixir of Life 
pills whose chief ingredient was Aleister Crowley's semen.

I don't know about you man, but when I put my software under a license, I sure 
don't want to conjure up images of unmarked semen pills in my more educated 
users.

Ha ha.. "Good for what ails ye!"  ;-)

On the contrary. I'm deriving immense amusement from this thread.

I don't think the point was that Perry was famous and thus should be treated 
differently. I think the point was that someone who writes as much as he does 
is likely to be in a better position to judge license issues that relate to 
his own software than you or I. :-)
