I was surprised when I saw a link to a tgz file. I almost put it into a Github repo, but the code didn't come with a license.

Good point about the license. Consider it public domain. I'll make a note about it on the blog entry.

I'll slap it up on github in a few and update the links.

Not for nothing, I think it might be best to give it an explicit license. I would suggest the MIT license ( http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php ) if you want to be public-domain-esque.

It turns out that just advising to consider it public domain doesn't carry much legal standing, neither in protecting you, nor in ensuring people can get it past their laywers.
