Various pages that I wrote carried a slightly modified version
|
|
of the "verbatim" license. In the interests of minimizing
|
|
lincense proliferation, I've reverted the modified form
|
|
so that the license is exactly the same as on other pages
|
|
carrying the verbatim license.
|
|
|
|
Typographical or grammatical errors have been corrected in several places.
