Licensing All My Software

I have decided to license the majority of my software under MIT License (X11). I hope this license makes all the permissions clear, and gives you enough space to use my code in your projects. I will do my best to add the license text to all the libraries and software stuff as soon as possible. So If you do not find license in particular file or article, please do like it contains this one. It is also possible that some software will be released under different license, in that case the particular software will contain license text in it. Thank you.
