Just in case you notice. I fixed a couple of capitalization and grammar
mistakes in the Licence noticed by Micah Stetson. Since I changed
something, I changed the version number as well.

For the combination conspiracy theorists & numerologists out there, the
new md5sum of the LICENCE divided by hex DEADBEEF*DEADBABE ends with
the 5 characters c1a55 which looks like class which might mean we're
switching to C++ or maybe C# which is really C++ with the pluses shifted
a little.

I always assumed it was shorthand for C++++.

Besides, we're not that easy to fool. We all know you'd use D♭ instead.

Surely it's going to be Java?
