My Open Source (not officially so yet) License

[Alex Dean]

I would pay for the court transcript when you sue someone for  
violating that license.

"It is alleged that, on April 1 2015, Defendant did knowingly and with  
malice aforethought duplicate software programs and code licensed by  
Plaintiff, and did expressly failed to comply with Subsection 3.2.15  
(Chicken Dance), commonly referred to as the 'Dancing Clause'.   
Plaintiff seeks relief in the immediate performance of said Dance by  
Defendant."
