it's intended to be as free as possible. I don't even care if the evil
satan (MS or Oracle) uses, modifies or whatever does with it.


> kitten.h is LGPL. Dunno if this is compatible.
thanks for noting this. will change this as soon as possible.

BTW: since the big fight of Oracle vs. Google wrt JAVA include files
we all know that .H files aren't even copyrightable.

also: by german law, for copyright claims your software (or other
thing) has to have a minimum 'invention hight'. KITTEN.H certainly has
no 'invention highness'.

so: there shouldn't be a copyright on it in the first place.

so do I
