ESL license

Since we're on the topic of the Euphoria Standard Library, what license are we
going to release this under if any? I'm assuming that we're going to use a
completely free, open-source license that's probably not copyleft or just release
it into the public domain. Public domain would probably be the best unless we
want to maintain some control over something (ie. "Modification is allowed only
if the list of contributors is not modified") or we want to explicitly declare no
warrantee on the library. Besides public domain I'd recommend the X11 or the 2-
or 3-clause versions of the BSD license. If we want to make this copyleft
(meaning any modifications to the library source must also be open source,
generally a bad idea) I'd recommend a very weak copyleft like the Mozilla
license. Our other option would be to write our own to cover explicitly what we
want.
