Correct; MIT.

I thought some more about that.  Here's what I came up with.  I think
net-nittin-irc and net-nittin-whatever implement an interface (that is
not defined but still there in terms of the implementation); others are
welcome to implement com-myhouse-irc with the same (or, naturally, a
different) interface.

I've been thinking lately that UFFI is really nice and that USOCKET
would be equally cool.  I thought about what I would name it:
net-nittin-usocket kinda implies what I said above but that defeats the
"universal" in USOCKET so for it I would simply choose the name USOCKET.

Anything to make the library more general.  What did you have in mind?
I know dan-b keeps talking about his hyperdocumentation API.

a) Welcome!

b) Yeah, probably.

Let's have a quick discussion about what other things it could include
before settling on the name.
