I've added the license notice to that file.
(It's a simple free-to-use-and-modify license with just a hair of egoism
in it.)

1) I wrote my own because:
  a) I could (and enjoyed doing so), and
  b) I wanted to have complete control over the system

2) I avoided those words not because of any internal Lua clash, but as a
way to namespace my objects without a module/table.

3) Because I was lazy and rarely think about this. I get so excited to
share my code with the world that I forget that step. :) [And, because I
tend to write stuff for myself and share it as an after thought, instead
of setting out to release something with all the bells and whistles a
proper 'release' ought to have.]
