Re: Bug fix for $((x**y)) algorithm on 64+ bits machines.

You're right. Then, just do what you want with this piece of code, I make it 
public domain: no restriction at all on using it. It's a gift to bash as I use 
it a lot. I also accept that you put my name and/or email with the piece of 
code in case someone wants to contact the author. :-)

My understanding is that something can be either copyrighted or
public domain, but not both at the same time. You might want
to check on this.
