The Unlicense is a template for disclaiming copyright monopoly interest in
software you've written; in other words, it is a template for dedicating
your software to the public domain. It combines a copyright waiver patterned
after the very successful public domain SQLite project with the no-warranty
statement from the widely-used MIT/X11 license.
