As this isn't exactly rocket science or a really original idea,
I don't think a copyleft license is needed.

So feel free to use the parts of this file that I wrote under the
same free software license that SymPy uses.

For some other pieces of software I'd prefer LGPL to work around
such license conflicts, but for this one it is ok.
