You would traditionally put the above statement into a file named `COPYING` or `LICENSE`. However, to explicitly distance yourself from the whole concept of copyright licensing, we recommend that you put your unlicensing statement in a file named [`UNLICENSE`](https://unlicense.org/UNLICENSE). Doing so also means that your project can more easily be found on e.g. [GitHub][] or [Bitbucket][], enabling others to reuse your code in their own unencumbered public domain projects. When publishing your code to registries such as npm o PyPI, set the license field to `Unlicense` to mark the usage of this license.
