"Otherwise you’re not really allowing them anything."

"Do whatever you wish with this product."

That is allowing them anything and everything they wish.

Hehe. Yeah I meant per default, everything is copyrighted. So it'd fall back to being restricted and thus "not allowing anything"... If the wording doesn't hold up... I'm not really in the position to judge this. Could be very well the case that once somebody touches it, it's not "this" product anymore and it's no longer covered. Or taking just parts of it is also not "this product". Or a copy. I can imagine that something like that is the reason why other licenses go on and on talking about modified versions and copies etc... But I'm really not a lawyer and you're right with being creative with things. I did not intend to be too negative 🤗
