about: include a "license" for you despicable IP fanboys.

i'm not a fucking lawyer, quit asking me to become one just so you
can use my shit without worrying that an illegitimate system -- which
you for some reason subscribe to -- will throw you in jail when you
use publicly available resources in a way somebody else finds offensive.

these bits are yours, maximally unencumbered.
now quit treating them as if they're something that can be "owned".
