Why does this forum always attract replies like this?

Yes, nothing is absolute, but throwing in tonnes of exceptions when you're giving advice to a novice doesn't accomplish anything1.

Do you seriously recommend a novice should go through all the licenses at opensource.org, read them all, and with their infinite legal knowledge, choose the one they like best? Or go with the main choice that's the core of the free software movement today? There's a reason Linux, GCC, and other such projects continue to grow the way they do and it has everything to do with their license. Placing this aside, there's no reason to pollute a simple thread with such complications.

As for suggesting that learning shouldn't be just about what one finds interesting and using one-liners to learn - I'll leave those as they are and hope I never run into any of your code.

1 don't bother replying that not everyone reading this is a novice.
