As per https://opensource.org/minutes20090304 this was rejected as redundant with Fair license https://opensource.org/licenses/Fair

Would you consider using Fair license or CC0 or X11 or Apache 2.0 instead?

https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#WTFPL FSF recommends using X11 license or Apache 2.0

This is stopping gitlab from updating licensee which now include a dependency on reverse_markdown

Couldn't you just copy the repo, make your own gem with a different name and different license? The license permits it.
