How to select a non-proprietary license.

Over the years I've come across several tutorials with detailed information on how to select from the list of Free Software (or Open Source) licenses and implement that selection. Here's mine: Before you start, if you already have any copyright notices concerning your software, delete them. Step 1: Download this file http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl2.txt and follow the instructions within. Before moving on to the next step, let us review. You have now absolved yourself or your company of all problematic legal entanglements. Should anyone cause you any legal grief, inform FSF.org, they'll handle it. There are no other steps. So stop wasting time on legalities and release your software already.
