Actually I don't care. Public domain or something like the Phobos 
license is fine by me. But as short as possible -- I really *hate* those 
files where there's 100 lines of legalese and 2 lines of code.

What I'd really like to find is some kind of "non-infect" free license 
for libraries. That is, you can do anything you like with this code, 
except that if you redistribute the source code AS SOURCE CODE, it must 
remain with the same license. So that if it's included in a GPL project, 
that single file doesn't get GPLed, and if it's in a commercial library 
where the source is sold, that single file remains free.
But since I don't know of any license that does that, any unrestricted 
license (including public domain) will do.
