\subsection{License}
This document is licensed as described in section~\ref{sec:license}. 

\subsection{Version}
\label{sec:version}
This is version 1.0.0 of the Free Speech License.

\subsection{Definitions}
\label{sec:definitions}
The author of the document that has been put under this license has
chosen to put it under this license.  From here on that document is
refered to as \emph{The Document} and the author or group of authors
as \emph{The Author}.


\subsection{Summary}
\label{sec:summary}
This license assumes that The Right for Free Speech is an important
right and should be constitutional in all countries.  It tries to make
a point what Free Speech is all about and that The Author of The
Document only tries to exrpress him-/herself and should not suffer a
major risk from that.  This License also intents to be a good read or
even funny.

\subsection{Using This License}
\label{sec:using-this-license}
You can put your own documents under this license by stating such and
providing this license or a link to where it can be found.

\section{Terms of Use}

\subsection{Understanding}
\label{sec:understanding}
This license assumes that you don't fully understand it.\\
This is very common in other licenses, too.  Thus it shouldn't be
necessary to explicitly state this.  Nevertheless, you have been
warned and continue reading The Document on your own risk.  All the
items from this license take effect even if you don't understand
them. 

\subsection{Thinking}
\label{sec:thinking}
You are allowed to think for yourself.\\
As far as the author of The Document is concerned you may think
whatever you want.  This includes thinking about the contents of This
Document and to build up an opinion whether you like it or not.  You
are allowed to think thoughts that are derived from The Document.
Derived thoughts may appear in you mind while you are reading The
Document and/or later when you think about The Document and/or its
contents.
  
Thinking for yourself might be against your local or otherwise
relevant law in which case this part of this license is not effective.

\subsection{Speaking}
\label{sec:speaking}
You are allowed to speak.\\
As far as the author of The Document is concerned you may speak about
your own thoughts, including those as described in
section~\ref{sec:thinking} freely.  This includes the right to speak
about The Document and/or its contents to other people.  When doing
this you are allowed to differ from the opinions of The Author as
described in The Document.  You are allowed to say that you don't like
The Document and/or don't agree with it.  You are also allowed to like
it and to agree with The Author.

Speaking what you think might be against your local or otherwise
relevant law in which case this part of this license is not effective.

\subsection{Blaming}
\label{sec:blaming}
You must not blame The Author.\\
The Author just makes use of his/her Constitutional Right for Free
Speech as is common in many countries.  If The Author does not own any
such right he/she is not allowed to use this license anyway.

Blaming someone might be against your local or otherwise relevant law
in which case this part of this license is not effective.

\subsection{Copying}
\label{sec:copying}
You are allowed to copy The Document but there should be no need
to.\\
The Document only contains thoughts by The Author in written form.
The Author states by using this license that he/she does not think
that thoughts can be owned in any way or patented or copyrighted.
Thus he does not own the contents of The Document and you are free to
use them on your own.

More than that you are allowed to think for yourself (see
section~\ref{sec:thinking} for details on this).

Copying something might be against your local or otherwise relevant
law in which case this part of this license is not effective.


\subsection{Laughing}
\label{sec:laughing}
You are allowed to laugh.\\
As far as the author of The Document is concerned you may laugh while
reading The Document and/or at and/or about its contents.  You are
also allowed to laugh at and/or with The Author about The Document or
something completely different.

\subsection{Parts of The Document}
\label{sec:parts}
Whenever you are given a right that can be applied to The Document
(such as thinking or speaking about it as described in
sections~\ref{sec:thinking} and \ref{sec:speaking} respectively) the
same applies to parts of The Document.

\section{Limitations}
\label{sec:limitations}

\subsection{Freedom}
\label{sec:freedom}
Freedom is a terminus of ethics and thus not absolute.  Your freedom
ends where anotherones freedom begins.

\subsection{Humor}
\label{sec:humor}
The Document may contain various forms of humor such as sarcasm,
irony, and may make you laugh.  

If you take all this too serious you probably lack a bit of humor. 

\subsection{Salvatoric Clause}
\label{sec:salvatoric-clause}
If any part of this license might be against the local or otherwise
relevant law or become ineffective in any other way, the rest of the
license does not loose it's effect. 


\section{Meta License}
\label{sec:license}
This license is a document put under this license as you just read
it.
