For real though, the shortest license is probably the WTFPL:

You just DO WHAT THE FUCK YOU WANT TO.

Might've used it a couple of times myself.
- You wouldn't believe the amount of legal ink that has been spilled trying to work out what the fuck the Do What The Fuck You Want To licence actually means, legally.
  
  Now I kinda want to write a full license, complete with all the legal jargon, that takes up 43 pages of space to say you can do whatever the fuck you want with this software
"You will now give me $40,000"

Agree
- This is from the perspective of the company so you'd be 40k in the hole. You'd want something like "Upon agreement to the terms the licensee will receive forty thousand US dollars ($40,000) within ninety (90) from the licensor. There will be a penalty of one thousand US dollars ($1,000) for every day after that period if not paid."
  
  90 whats?
Let's take a page from the code reviewers handbook:

  Just in case you don’t actually know, it’s Looks Good To Me. It’s very commonly used when software devs review each other’s code.
I agree that the copyright, source code and associated trademarks of this software product will transfer ownership to the undersigned (the user) in perpetuity.
NOO NOOO LINE 21 OF THE EULA "this product is defined as a service and when we use the word "purchase" were lieing and ment it can be revoked :P"
