I like it. The TPL: Toplap Permanence License.
This program is livecoded software: in order to use it, you must modify it under the terms of the Toplap Permanence License immediately before, or at the same time as executing it.

This is a good thing, I feel, at least within the current copyright system. What I'm not sure we have yet is a licence that allows public usage of code *only* under the condition that it is modified, or perhaps that the usage itself modifies it. For example there are versions of the Creative Commons that permit modification, but I can't find any that require it.
