+However, Mike did not include a license of his own for his
+ version of this. From discussions with him, I felt that the MIT license is
+the most applicable to his intent.
+
+I am in the process of further determining what should be done wrt licensing 
+further.  This entire header will likely change with the next version 0.16, 
+which will hopefully nail down the whole thing so we can get back to 
+implementing features instead of licenses.  Thank you for your time.
