After the last round of licensing wars on the LDP list - back when I
read the LDP list - the next document I wrote (and probably, most
future documents I write that aren't opinion pieces) went out with the
"licence"

``this document is placed in the public domain, for unencumbered use,
modification and distribution. I ask however that modified versions
carry a notice describing the changes made, the author of the changes,
and a pointer to this original version. This is a request which I
cannot enforce other than by writing rude things about people who
don't.''

Probably I should add a "no warranty" clause, but apart from that, It
Works For Me
