I guess I should have been clearer
this (for anyone how hasn't seen it) is the WTFPL

I have (luckily) forgotten the name, but there's one "open" source
license of one particular individual who excludes people from using the
software who don't fit in his (racist) view of the world or who live in
(long list of countries).

FWIW, I respect the principled anti-copyleft views from
http://copyfree.org but they aren't trashingly anti-GPL or whatever,
they are promoting the idea of maximum compatibility and rejecting
copyright etc. largely.
Absolutely, I agree 'permissive-non-copyleft' has a place but for most
things I'd sooner just slap a GPL on and be done
