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

Just list every single thing in existance the user can possibly do... "By agreeing to these terms the user can,.... In case the user can't do any of the following the user is permitted to not do any of the following."

Just be like, by agreeing to these terms the user can do anything mentioned in the library of Babel.
