Hope you like it! :-)
No license complications please. Code is in public domain.
Putting code in public domain has legal issues in some areas like
bringing in personal liability to developers concerned.

If your goal is to let anyone use it within no restrictions, it would be
better to use a simple permissive license like MIT or BSD license instead.

Thanks Rahul. I am really really surprised at the wide vistas and viewpoints
one gets in ILUGC. No other forum I know of is so helpful.
All these years I have been a clueless hacker writing code and I have not had
to think of licensing.
But I certainly understand that it is important and it is high time I
understood the implications of what I am doing.
I think I will just go ahead with the BSD licensing for future code.
Not decided yet, but that is how it looks now.
Thanks again for opening my eyes.
Much appreciated.
regards,
Girish
