in my opinion this a 'just-don't-give-it-away' licenses that they invented that don't mean anything, and then when I put one of this in my website and a lawyers sees it and get my information then he can send me a letter through the regular US postal service saying that if I don't want to just give away my work I better come to his office and buy some legal documents from him or he will put me in jail because to put restrictions to my work I do need a real legal document from the real world

well I can see that this is part one, apparently a techy meeting, so far so good, but what do they keep mentioning the word license, they have not explaining what legal connection there is between this thing and the world of law (I am not going to go into a court room and tell somebody that I have the right to whatever because there is a icon in 'my website' 'saying so', what is the connection between the court of law and all this techy bla bla ble ble?
