The General Password Licence

From a poll on Slashdot about the best way to remember multiple passwords:

“Man, why is it that when it comes to passwords people go all closed source! I thought this is slashdot, home of open source supporters! It’s time to open source passwords. I propose that we all post our passwords so that they will be shared and will thus be even easier to remember. Plus if you have a really good password people won’t have to reinvent the wheel and come up with it again. We could even have have a license and call it the General Password License (GPL for short) that requires that anyone using your password share their password back with the community. Besides, without thousands of eyes to make sure you have chosen a good password, how will you ever know?”
