Is "zero-clause BSD" a joke, or is it considered a legitimate license? If the latter, does it actually differ from the MIT license in anything other than name?

zero-clause BSD is essentially a modified MIT that doesn't even require attribution, so essentially a "public domain" like license.

what does the fx in fxtwitter.com mean?

Just kidding... Foreign exchange....

Kidding again... I don't actually know.

Presuming that 'MIT' was a typo: most BSD-licensed software doesn't use the original (4-clause) BSD license, most are under variants:

since the WHOIS states it's DNS servers are hosted by cloudflare (twitter is hosted by twtrdns.net) it seems to be a "fuck x - twitter.com" forwarding domain. Maybe also with some tracking to see how many people clicked the link but that's just speculation

it eschews attribution, making it just about the closest thing to a public-domain dedication that still retains the appropriate verbiage to hold up to legal scrutiny
