I include myself: copyright © (year) by Kevin B. Kenny and let
license.terms apply.

I don't intend ever to enforce copyright, but there are jurisdictions
that do not recognize a dedication to the public domain, or reserve
some rights to the author even after such a dedication (les droits
moraux, aux pays qui suivent le Code Civil).

Ordinarily, I want the copyright notice there to make it
clear (through license.terms) that I explicitly do not represent the
software as merchantable nor fit for any given purpose. For
that, I'd be just as happy with the Rhyming Public License:

    Anything free

    Do as you please
    But please don't sue me!
