THE LICENSE:

The licenser, Chris Hargrove, is herein referred to as the "licenser".

This license agreement, the source code provided, the executable(s)
compilable thereof, and all other contents of the distributable archive
including the archive itself are herein referred to as "covered" by this
license agreement.

Reading, compiling, running, or otherwise using any item covered by this
license constitutes automatic acceptance of the rules described in this
license, as precedes and follows in the remainder of this file.

All items covered by this license agreement are the sole property of the
licenser, and are licensed as-is to the public for educational use only.
No items covered by this license may be distributed in any archive other
than that which is originally provided, and said archive may only be
distributed via mediums that require no cost for retrieval of said archive
other than those required by the medium itself and its direct providers
thereof.  None of the items covered may be modified or duplicated in any
form, with the sole exception of modifications and duplications made by
licensees for educational use only.  Said modifications and duplications
may only be made to source code covered by this license, and all said
modifications and duplications become the immediate and sole property of the
licenser.  The licenser is not responsible for any damages, direct or
indirect, that may result from usage, proper or improper, of items covered
under this license.

Any violation of the above rules must be authorized via express written
consent of the licenser, or it may be punishable by civil legal action.

THE LICENSE PARAPHRASED:

I'm writing this code so you can read it and learn from it.  If you
understand it and find some bits and pieces useful as-is, feel free to make
use of them.  But don't go taking credit for that which is not yours, and
don't go trying to make a buck off of my effort directly without my
permission.  I'm doing this for your personal growth, not for your wallet
or your ego.  In general, don't screw me and I won't screw you.  The spirit
of sharing information is why I volunteer my already limited time to write
this series.  That same spirit is behind a lot of what I and many others have
learned, and what we're all still learning to this day.  This license is
basically my way of saying that I don't want some random guy out there to
ruin it for myself and everyone else.  Be ethical.

Chris Hargrove
