To be honest, I've never thought about a license with respect to skeleton
before. It's kind of a curious question. :)

I'm mostly inclined to say that it's an example, a template, etc. (thus the two
licenses, examples of the different ones we use) - do what you want with it.
There's somewhat more useful code in there now than there used to be, with the
driver example, but still.

I'm open to other views. Jan, I think you added the driver examples, what do you
think?
