The "License"
The character of Jenny Everywhere is available for use by anyone, with only one condition. This paragraph must be included in any publication involving Jenny Everywhere, in order that others may use this property as they wish. All rights reversed.
The "license" is self-explanatory. However, it should be clarified that it does not mean everything with Jenny Everywhere is free-use and uncopyrighted. People may still maintain copyrights on their own unique characters and character styling, story, artwork, and title.
The name, the character herself, and the idea of the character is uncopyrightable, because she already belongs to everyone. That is what is meant by the "All Rights Reversed" portion.
Nelson Evergreen, artist of A Damn Fine Hostile Takeover Part 1 and Part 2, had released Part 2's idea of the "Jenny Nowhere" character to the same open license as Jenny Everywhere. Originally intended as a sort of antagonist to Jenny Everywhere, Nelson says the Jenny Nowhere should open to just as much accessibility.

Famous quotes containing the word license:
“Nature is mythical and mystical always, and works with the license and extravagance of genius. She has her luxurious and florid style as well as art.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“My attitude toward punctuation is that it ought to be as conventional as possible. The game of golf would lose a good deal if croquet mallets and billiard cues were allowed on the putting green. You ought to be able to show that you can do it a good deal better than anyone else with the regular tools before you have a license to bring in your own improvements.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
