Thanks. I see it now. I'm accustomed to finding licensing info within
the download, so it didn't occur to me to go back to the download page
to look for it.
I don't suppose it *needs* to be in the code or the download
necessarily. Anyone wanting to use the code can go back and download
your web page to have a copy of the usage terms if they need them for
future reference.

the code?
It seems really hard to give something away these days.

Thanks. Seems very useful, but I couldn't find licensing info there.
What license is the code distributed undere? Public domain, MIT, GPL,
something else?
It would be helpful if all of us included licensing info in code we
share so we can know how it can be used.
I'm still retrofitting licensing into some of my old stuff myself, so I
can appreciate the effort needed.
