Wow, talk about a blast from the past... It has that license because
when I originally wrote (more than 10 years ago?) I hoped to make some

that time I was not as aware of the value of licenses such as the LGPL.

Feel free to use any of that code in any way you see fit.

use the fixed point library on gameprogrammer.com any way you chose.

P.S.
What kind of machine still needs fixed point arithmetic?
