No, don't screw around with people legally. It makes you look dishonest.

He does not look dishonest. He looks like the hero we all deserve. Dial it back a bit, would you?

I think his satire is excellent. Look at how these silly licenses are simultaneously taken very serious and frankly not taken seriously at all. I think he has proven something really quite interesting, and in a pretty amusing way.

How is he screwing around with anyone legally? Has anyone been sued over this? Most of this stuff is unenforceable in any meaningful way. Worst case is really some nasty emails.
