Since we're in a joke/flame thread I must disagree.  That license

Sorry, that just doesn't cut it.  What if I *want* to change the name?

In the United States, such a license already exists, it's called
"Public Domain".

Switching back to serious mode, what would it take for an
international license to be the equivalent of US Public Domain -
"Do what the fuck you want to" everywhere?
