| 34 | Copyright © 2005-2011 Rich Felker, the main author of this library. |
| 35 | The decision to exclude such comments is intentional, as it should be |
| 36 | possible to carry around the complete source code on tiny storage |
| 37 | media. All public header files (include/*) should be treated as Public |
| 38 | Domain as they intentionally contain no content which can be covered |
| 39 | by copyright. Some source modules may fall in this category as well. |
| 40 | If you believe that a file is so trivial that it should be in the |
| 41 | Public Domain, please contact me and, if I agree, I will explicitly |
| 42 | release it from copyright. |

| 45 | the first place, and hereby explicitly released to the Public Domain: |
