[add-art dev] license

[Matt Katz]

I have waited years for the opportunity to suggest the WTFPL for something
that people are actually using.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WTFPL

We probably should specify a license because the default is copyright.  I
want this to be open source in some fashion.

Key questions, and my personal answers:
* do we care if people use our code?
  I want people to use this code
* do we care if people use this code and don't give us credit?
  I like being given credit, but I'm not sure I'd get snippy with someone
who didn't.
* do we care if people use this code to build something and don't share?
  I'd like them to, but I don't really care.  Good for them.
* do we care if people use this code to build something commercial
  No problem.  Go make money
* do we care if people use this code to make a swankass targeted
advertising platform.
  I don't care.

Hence, WTFPL.  Other options would be the BSD license or MIT License.  If
we need formal advice, my buddy Aaron works as a lawyer for the Software
Freedom Law Center and cold probably hook us up.
