This is the "licence" that I use; I find the GPL to be far too restrictive
for my tastes.

Do what the hell you like with this stuff, but don't pretend that you
wrote it or remove this notice, OK? Otherwise I *will* hunt you down
and deal with you (and I have done that before).
If you modify anything then have the guts to put your name to it so I
know who to blame and can deflect complaints accordingly, or email me
so I can incorporate your ideas (with due credit) in the next version
of this fine suite of software; fame could be yours :-)
Continued use of this software may or may not result in the agonising
death of all small furry animals within a 100ft radius, so use at own
risk; I cannot accept any responsibility for any animal-welfare group
kicking down the door in the middle of the night and dragging you off
to be vivisected with a rusty razor blade.
