It's a lovely, incredibly refreshing idea.

Don't confuse it for a legal license though, of course. For one thing, it leaves you open in the event someone modifies your code to do something terrible / broken. Maybe it could be something that can be layered on top of a license? I really love the idea of Hugware and would love to use it for all my open projects.

Well, thank you. But the do-what-ever-you-want part applies only if there is no other license.

You can use MIT + HUGWARE.

MIT + HUGWARE = my new favorite license. Thanks for the clarification.
