I'd like to ask you to sign a disclaimer for the program, thus putting
it in the public domain.  (For a small program such as this, it's not
worth our trying to assert a copyleft.)

    I, <name of person>, hereby disclaim all copyright interest in my
    program <program> which does <one-line desription>.

    I affirm that I have no other intellectual property interest
    that would undermine this release, and will do nothing to undermine
    it in the future.  I represent that the work is my own and not
    a copy of someone else's work.

    <signature and date>

If you are employed to do programming (even at a university), or have
made an agreement with your employer or school saying it owns programs
you write, then we also need a signed disclaimer from your employer
or school.

This disclaimer should be signed by a vice president or general manager
of the company.  If you can't get at them, it is almost as good to
find someone who signs licenses for software that is purchased.  Here
is a sample wording:

  Digital Stimulation Corporation hereby disclaims all copyright interest
  in the program "seduce" written by Hugh Heffner.

  Digital Stimulation Corporation affirms that it has no other
  intellectual property interest that would undermine this release,
  and will do nothing to undermine it in the future.

  <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1987
  Ty Coon, President of Vice, Digital Stimulation Corp.

If your employer says they do have an intellectual property claim that
could conflict with the use of the program, then please put me in
touch with a suitable representative of the company, so that we can
negotiate what to do about it.

Please snail the signed disclaimers to me:
