VIRAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Copyleft (ɔ) All Rights Reversed.
This WORK is hereby relinquished of all associated ownership, attribution and copy rights, and redistribution or use of any kind, with or without modification, is permitted without restriction subject to the following conditions:
1. Redistributions of this WORK, or ANY work that makes use of ANY of the contents of this WORK by ANY kind of copying, dependency, linkage, or ANY other possible form of DERIVATION or COMBINATION, must retain the ENTIRETY of this license.

Fully permissive, viral software license. The VPL is designed to achieve and extend the GPL's strong copyleft without the burden of its obligations and restrictions. The VPL's sole restriction is its own viral continuity, allowing it to effectively and permanently infect any work it touches with absolute permissiveness.

VPL was chosen over CC0 due to the main difference between the two being the extension of the license to extend to derivatives based on this work. This means that if someone were to develop a short movie based upon the narrative created in Story Block, then that also is in public domain to be utilized in any such way. In doing so, we remove all restrictions by making the sole restriction that if Story Block is utilized in any way, that the derivatives are also under the Viral Public License. This ultimately aligns with Story Block's core values of that lay at the intersection of creativity & decentralization.
