Wow! Thanks for the gift of your time and trouble!

In the U.S., and I think internationally now, you have an implied copyright to your code the moment you publish it, as you have done here. That means it is illegal for anyone to copy your code without your permission. If you want your code to be used freely, there are a variety of ways to say that, in a legal way. The list of options is very broad, and understanding them all takes a significant amount of study, but you might be interested in looking over your options. These range from very simple (placing the code in the public domain, for example,) or very elaborate, like the various flavors of the GPL.
