+BOLA license
+============
+
+What is the BOLA?
+-----------------
+
+The BOLA is not really a formal license, it's a text that tells the work you
+apply it to it's in the public domain.
+
+The text is a "letter of intention" and not a complex legal document, as you
+will see below.
+
+
+What does BOLA stand for?
+-------------------------
+
+BOLA means "Buena Onda License Agreement". In spanish, "Buena onda" means
+something like "cool" or "nice". "Bola" is a spanish word too, and means
+"ball".
+
+
+Who and why created the BOLA?
+-----------------------------
+
+Me, Alberto Bertogli (albertito@gmail.com).
+
+I wanted to place some software projects under public domain, but felt that
+just expressing it in a file would be too little. So the BOLA is what I came
+up with.
+
+Just to be clear, I am NOT a lawyer and I don't want to have anything to do
+with them. Use it at your own risk.
+
+If you use BOLA for any project, or just like it, please drop me an email with
+your thoughts.
