I believe I saw my name on a list of people whose articles had been
scavenged.  Any code or text I have contributed to the network without
a copyright notice is in the public domain and may be used by anyone
for any purpose whatsoever, with or without giving me credit.  While
this includes the right to include it in a copyrighted compilation
such as this, I feel that the above copyright notice is deceptive and
will in effect lead to a loss of social utility from my work.  Please
add an exemption clause of some sort.
