I was using unlicense but read that it might not be honored in some countries and so i settled on MIT but now i remember what brought me here in the first place. Licenses and the fact that i dont care what people think. so its gonna be released like libtomcrypt with a url to unlicense just to make a point. not that i really have much of anything to license but any scripts etc i write im slapping it on there anyways just because it doesn't hurt.
