Excellent! Thank you.

No, since sometime in the '70s, at least in the US, all original copyrightable
works are automatically copyrighted at their creation. If you want people to be
able to copy, modify, spindle, mutilate it, you have to give them permission.
The easiest thing to do for code is usually to just say that it's license is the
MIT or maybe BSD license (which we would prefer for scipy).

And don't get me started on the public domain.
