It's not an OSI approved license, nor does it actually grant any rights. If you use the WTFPL then you are preventing others from legally using it.

Yeah, good to mention it here explicitly. The Wikipedia page linked above has a nice summary of its "compatibility":

  DFSG compatible   Yes
  FSF approved      Yes
  OSI approved      No
  GPL compatible    Yes
  Copyleft          No
  Linking from code with a different license  Yes
