GNU License Dad Explains Toy Sharing

Hey dad! my friend want to play with my toy! Can I borrow it to him? GNU GPL First of all, my name is not "dad", it's "GNUdad". Secondly, in order to borrow your toys your friend must agree to sign an agreement stating that he will allow everyone else to borrow his toys whenever they want. Your friend must also make anyone wishing to borrow his toys sign this same agreement. Also I forgot you play with that little Susan Gates down the streets. Her family is evil because they don't believe in freedom LGPL Sure, just make sure he returns it ok? BSD Sure thing buddy! WTFPL Whatever kid just get out of my face

The meme personifies open-source software licenses as different fathers reacting to a child asking to lend a toy to a friend. The GNU GPL dad demands that every borrower agree to share the toy under the same terms, while LGPL, BSD, and WTFPL give progressively more permissive or dismissive responses. It is sent as a humorous explanation of copyleft and software licensing differences.
