The Lil License
<p><pre><code>    &gt; Permission is hereby granted by the authors of this software, to any person

Person as in what, a natural person? What about non persons such as legal entities?<p><pre><code>    &gt; and including usage rights to any patents the authors may hold on it
</code></pre>
So the license allows you to use any patents (held by the project author) included in the project, but it doesn&#x27;t cover anything about patents used by contributors when submitting changes. OK...<p><pre><code>    &gt; Any modification to the software submitted to the authors may be incorporated into the software 
    &gt; under the terms of this license.
</code></pre>
May? That seems like something that should really be changed to &quot;Any modification to the software submitted [...] will be incorporated into [...]&quot; or something similar that _doesn&#x27;t_ let people decide about this on the fly.<p>This license as a whole is rather vague, leaving a lot up to interpretation. This isn&#x27;t something you want from the only thing that stands between you and a potential legal nightmare. Just use good existing licenses such as the MPL 2.0, Apache, GPL (or some flavour of it), or even the MIT license (though I would strongly recommend not using it without a CLA).
