WTFPL - Do What The Fuck You Want To Public License – finally a license which makes sense.
William Shatner Makes Palin's Speech Into Poetry In fairness, images of fish swimming inside barrels come to mind.
IQJam reads to me like an intranet version of Stack Overflow. I actually had a similar idea many years back when it seemed pretty obvious that so many organisations were facing the same problem – properly identifying and utilising their internal resources correctly.

"Thoughts on the NoSQL movement" – I’ve noticed a few people talking about the whole noSQL thing, and how relational database are “falling out of favour” with the industry as of late. Sounds like an argument on the verge of becoming very evangelistically inclined – how about just using whatever tool is suited for the task at hand?
