  Don't know why the other URL isn't working. But this one is (for now) and I have a copy and would be willing to throw it up on my server for people if this URL goes down as well.

  on Putting Ideas And Inventions Into The Public Domain
  it is a waiver. Just saying.
  
  It should say "its CC0 waiver"
