There are a bunch of licenses people use for their web content these days. The most prolific is probably Creative Commons and its many variants. But the one constant in all licenses is pervasive legalese. So with that in mind I present to you the Don’t Steal My Shit License:

• You can read my shit
• You can quote my shit
• But don’t be a dick and steal my shit

Simple, permissive, to the point. If this license appeals to you I encourage you to use it on your own works. But keep in mind that I am not a lawyer (nor do I even play one on TV) and this license will probably not stand up in court if someone does steal your shit.
