Once upon a time I distributed some software free for anyone to use or redistribute, except for Elliotte Harold. Frankly I don't think it had the requisite originality to even qualify for copyright protection, but that didn't stop a couple of panicked publishers from reaching out for waivers and being less than 100% satisfied when I sent them signed, snail mail letters attesting to my belief that it lacked requisite originality.
