Heh, it's funny this whole convo popped up today. A few hours ago I

"By using this code in any way you forfeit all specious claims to
anything as nonsensical as "intellectual property""

If anything your verbiage doesn't go far enough, Daniel, since you
recognize the validity of the concept of copyright in the first place :)

But good on you anyway. Perhaps I went too far :))

Instead, only those who believe in copyright and patents should be subject to them. Let them eat their own dog food.
