Rich Felker0b44a032011-02-12 00:22:29 -050025All files which have no copyright comments are original works
26Copyright © 2005-2011 Rich Felker, the main author of this library.
27The decision to exclude such comments is intentional, as it should be
28possible to carry around the complete source code on tiny storage
29media. All public header files (include/*) should be treated as Public
30Domain as they intentionally contain no content which can be covered
31by copyright. Some source modules may fall in this category as well.
32If you believe that a file is so trivial that it should be in the
33Public Domain, please contact me and, if I agree, I will explicitly
34release it from copyright.
