"I hereby grant you the reader the _right_ to use this (public domain)
document _freely_. (If you've been paying attention you understand that
you are already free to do as you choose. I am granting you a 'right of
freedom', an oxymoron. You probably realize that my statement isn't
granting you freedom, which in fact you already possess, it's just saying
I am abdicating the _right_ granted to me to have you attacked if you make
you use of this text without permission. Thus you have gained no freedom,
no liberty, merely a right, a length of leash. Wag your tail.)"
I think that should answer your question. :)
