Hello,

I have just published some bits of code licensed under copyleft-next 0.1.0. For no other reason than it seemed fun to be the first :) (is this indeed the first project using the license?)

Over the past week I wrote a very simple, experimental web analytics system. Google Analytics, Piwik, etc.. all track users, which is evil and also illegal in some parts of Europe unless the user has given some kind of consent. So I wrote a very minimal replacement which only captures the information I need as web developer (browser + version and screen resolution). Even this is arguably illegal under some implementations of e-Privacy directive 2009/136/EC without getting consent from visitors, but it is a lot closer to being in a grey area than Piwik and friends.

Perhaps this approach is of interest to other free software / open source projects for whom real analytics is overkill.
