Rationale The IDCIYMI license fills a unique social gap by standardizing a "Creator Note" field within a permissive legal framework. While legally similar to MIT, it provides a dedicated space for authors to express their intent and encouragement for modifications without introducing legally binding restrictions that would violate the OSD. This fosters a culture of remixing and open collaboration. 3. Open Source Definition (OSD) Affirmation I affirmatively state that this license complies with the Open Source Definition. Specifically: - OSD 3 (Derived Works): It explicitly permits modifications and sublicensing. - OSD 5 & 6 (No Discrimination): The license and its "Creator Note" are structured to ensure no groups or fields of endeavor are restricted. - OSD 9 (License Must Not Restrict Other Software): It does not restrict other software distributed with it. 4. Stewardship I, Bernardo Hora, am the steward of this license. 5.
