KHMan, why are you so angry? I actually agree with you that for simple
stuff the MIT license is better, but questioning the guy's ethics
because he left the license off a pastebin? Maybe it's just me, but I'd
be more likely to attribute that "omission" to forgetfulness or not
thinking it would be important to the viewers.
