PSA: The WTFPL is a terrible license. Nobody with legal training has vetted it. Its phrasing may be too vague to have legal effect in some jurisdictions. It completely lacks a warranty disclaimer.

Use one of the standard permissive licenses instead. MIT and 0BSD are both very short and easy to understand, and lawyers have actually looked at them.

It's still useful to know if you picked up any dependencies under the WTFPL... which SPDX short identifiers in source files enable you to easily identify.
