I would have loved to put the header files in the public domain, but in most jurisdictions, including Germany, this isn't legally possible. When you create something, you have the copyright (Urheberrecht in German, literally author's right) and you can't give it up or transfer it to someone else.

WTFPL is pretty close, practially speaking, so we chose that. If we started today, we would probably consider CC0 instead.
