As mentioned in the review of 1/4, a few files in this directory lacked
copyright claims.  I'm squashing this in before pushing (justification
on the README file: FSF states that top-level files with no code content
can be distributed under a generic as-is disclaimer, rather than needing
to be LGPL):
