Because of the swear word?
Well that doesn't help of course. :)
But mostly because (subject to the standard IANAL disclaimer) as I read it, it allows you to do anything you want with the license, but says nothing about any other material.
And without a disclaimer it would allow me to sue the pants off of you if the software under it didn't do what you said it did.
From the FAQ[0]:
Is the WTFPL a valid license?
Although the validity of the WTFPL has not been tested in courts, it is widely accepted as a valid license. Every major Linux distribution (Debian, Fedora, Arch, Gentoo, etc.) ships software licensed under the WTFPL, version 1 or 2. Bradley Kuhn (executive director of the Free Software Foundation) was quoted saying that the FSF’s folks agree the WTFPL is a valid free software license.
Hmmm, ok, clause 0, the operative clause is so brief I missed it :)
But the fact that it doesn't have a disclaimer is still risky.
