Each file in SLIB (over a dozen lines in length) is either in the public
domain, or comes with a statement of terms permitting users to copy,
modify, and redistribute it.

The comments at the beginning each file (containing over a dozen lines)
must specify its terms.  For instance, the comments at the beginning of
"Template.scm" declare that it is in the public domain:

  ;;;
  ;;; This code is in the public domain.

Each copyrighted file lists the names of the copyright holders and gives
