Philosophy
----------

Believe it or not, today you *cannot* copy most of the content on the web
without prior approval of its author. You risk getting sued if you do not obtain
his blessing. That is why I need this page to tell you I give up all my
so-called "rights" and will let you copy whatever you which for any purpose
whatsoever. A more carefully worded declaration is below. 

If it bothers you that this page should even exist, check out Richard Stallman's
essay `The Right to Read`_.
