Re-license all code under 0BSD in place of WTFPL
I have re-licensed all of my code under the more-serious 0BSD license rather than the WTFPL on the count of it being more legally sound (vulgarity was NOT a factor in this decision).

+I, Harley Travis, as the copyright holder of all current source code written
+as part of this TempleOS floppy disk controller project, have made the
+decision to re-license all of my code under the BSD Zero Clause License in
+place of the original Do What The Fuck You Want To Public License.
+
+To be clear: THIS IS NOT BECAUSE OF THE VULGARITY OF THE ORIGINAL LICENSE! I
+actually really enjoy the WTFPL! But I decided that it is a bit too informal
+for my taste, and so, based on a review of the existing
+public-domain-equivalent licenses, I have chosen 0BSD going forward.
+
+I have noticed that some other TempleOS-related projects have used the
+Unlicense, but the Open Source Initiative has noted that it is not very
+well-written, hence why I am not using it for my project.
+
+0BSD, like the WTFPL, is a public-domain-equivalent license, perfect for a
+TempleOS-related project (as it maintains Terry A. Davis' vision of TempleOS
+being public-domain, though that claim would likely be legally unsound).

I found a copy-paste error while testing my driver code on my main TOS machine
