The LPCL, version 1.0:

             Lovely Public Community License (LPCL)
                Version 1.0, February 20, 2009
----  ------  ------  ------  ------  ------  ------  ------  --

Copyright (c) 2009 Bart Bes and Osuf Oboys
  This license, but not the licensed product, is licensed to
"the LCPL Development Team" under LPCL.

  The intention of this license is to provide a means to release
a product in a community without any particular user governing
the project. In particular, the license should encourage the
liberties taken in wiki systems, provide a means to settle
disputes, and allow new users to continue a project where every
developer has gone inactive. This license imposes NO
restrictions on work that is released under other names than the
name of this product. If such restrictions are desired, the work
may be licensed under more than one license.

Definitions.
  "This product" refers to all copyrightable work licensed under
this license. A "derivative work" is any copyrightable material
based on or using this product. "The community of this product"
is a body of entities, usually people, which may be defined in
an accompanying policy document or section as stated below.

  A separate document or section defining this product's
community and policy may accompany this license and is treated
as constituent of the referenced product as far as this license
is concerned. Such a document or section may only define "the
community" and how "the community" may exercise  clause 3.2 of
this license. In particular, changing such a document does not
demand a new release of this license but it does demand a new
release of the product. If no such document or clause
accompanies the product, then "the community" is the empty set.

Terms and Conditions.
  This product comes without any warranty, express or otherwise.
Under no circumstances will the creators of this product be held
responsible for any negative effects arising from the use of
this or derivative works.
  Permission is granted to use this product in any fashion and
for any purpose, including commercial, with or without this
license, provided the following conditions are met.
 1. Derivative works released under more than one license are
subject to the restrictions of each such license.
 2. Any derivative work advertised under the same name and the
same version as this product must constitute a complete
unaltered copy of this product without any additions and be
accompanied by an unaltered copy of this license.
 3. If a derivative work is advertised under the same name as
this product but under a different version, then the following
additional conditions apply.
  3.1. The derivative work must clearly state that they are a
derivative of this product and must be licensed under this
license or a newer version of this license as approved by the 
community.
  3.2. The community of this product has the right to demand
that any derivative work, or any derivative work of a derivative
in any number of steps, changes the name of the derivative work
to a name other than the name of this product or else be subject
to copyright infringement. The owners of the derivative work
must in such an event be notified about the decision. The
community has no right in choosing the new name.
  3.3. Clause 3.2 may be invoked any number of times permitted
by the accompanying policy.

The LPCL Development Team.
  This section does not apply to work licensed under LPCL other
than the license itself. The LPCL Development Team can NOT
invoke clause 3.2 for any work other than the license and the
license only.
  The LPCL Development Team consists of every real person with
an unbanned account on any forum hosted by http://love2d.org
with at least ten posts made a week or more ago.
  To invoke clause 3.2, a post must be made by a team member in
a new thread hosted by the domain http://love2d.org. This post
must clearly state the opening of a vote, the expected format of
votes, and the effect of the respective answers.
  A valid vote is any post in this thread made by a member of
the LPCL development team which
 * contains "yes." or "no.", but not both, as a subword of any
capitalization,
 * does not have any other valid vote cast by the same member of
the same or a newer time,
 * is stamped at most 604800 seconds (one week) older than the
post that opened the vote.
  After one week, the votes are tallied with the winning being
either 'yes.' or 'no.', whichever received the most answers. In
the case of a draw, clause 3.2 is not invoked.
  At most three votes per can be made about the same product and
at least one week apart. A vote may concern more than one
product. No legal person may open more than four votes per
month.
