**Please don't do this.** My understanding is that for 'code' (whatever that is), the terms you are proposing possess a gaping license-laundering loophole and are legally reducible to [CC0](https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/). Here is my reasoning: The [post above](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/272956) proposes the following new licensing terms. > Starting March 1, 2016, new contributions across the network will be > licensed to the public under the following terms: > > - Non-code contributions will continue to be available for use under the terms of CC-BY-SA > - Code contributions will be available for use under the terms of [the MIT License][2] > - You don’t have to include the full MIT License in your code base. Contributors agree to give code users permission to ignore the MIT > License’s notice preservation requirement, as long as users give > reasonable attribution. This optional exception to the MIT License > will live in our terms of service. This means that: 1. A first generation derivative work would have to include attribution, but would be able to be distributed under a license not requiring attribution or sharing alike. 1. Anyone receiving such a first derivative work is therefore not required to attribute or to share alike. 1. Anyone will be able to re-license code posted to Stack Exchange sites in this way. 1. Code posted to Stack Exchange site and re-licensed in this way can therefore be used in any way the <s>plagiarist</s> derivative author wishes. It is therefore effectively CC0 licensed.
