Rewrite it, I have been in situations like this before and I wonder why I did not rewrite it.

I am not a PHP programmer, but I noticed that most of the files does not have a php closing "?>". Or am I missing something?
Re:Ask HN: How do non-English speakers learn programming? on Sunday April 08, 2012 @02:11AM (#3813245)
It does not matter. I do not think English has anything to do with the ability of programming. Not all native English speaker can code, similarly there are many non-english speakers who are great programmers.

Ask HN: Am I using the WTFPL correctly?

I have this time log spreadsheet that I have been using for many many years. I thought people may benefit from it so put it up on github (https://github.com/blj/timelog) and added WTFPL to it. My friend says that I have to remove author's name from the license text. I am not sure what the procedure is. Your opinion please. Thanks.
