What exactly does all this mean? I can't comprehend it very well - unfortunately. :'(

It's a very permissive license, Do everything with it as you like it.
At first I thought it was way more liberal than GPL, but actually it's GPL-compatible  :eek

P.S: WOL is also interesting

[Twister]

I like the idea the WOL is built around. I really was thinking of going with WTFPL because I had no other options, and because I am not too sure about GPL.

What can GNU GPL do for me?

[hutch--]

Thats easy, own your code.  :bg

Trick is to write your own in clear plain language. the WTF licence is simple enough, do what you like with the code as long as you rename it.

and because I am not too sure about GPL.

What can GNU GPL do for me?

IMO, do not bother with GPL, unless you're working on huge community based projects like Linux kernel or GCC.
There are some projects that can be benefited from GPL, but clearly it's not the best for everything.
