100 LOC, incl a makefile and a README, copyrighted and released to the 
public under the MIT license?

ha!  VERY FOSS cheesy!

Though not as cheesy as Terry Telnet Porter GPLing 8 lines of leafnode 
filters.

...........update_filters.sh.............
#!/bin/sh
# filename "update_filters.sh"
# This script allows the easy use and updating of
# "Homers COLA Leafnode Filters"
# http://slated.org/files/COLA-filters-20100919.tar.bz2
# whilst maintaining your own "local" COLA filters.
# It is assumed that the Leafnode config files are in
# /etc/leafnode and Homers COLA Leafnode Filters are in
# /etc/leafnode/filters-homer
#
# Change "Homers COLA Leafnode Filters" in
#  $DIR to suit yourself if different
# Add your own filter files as required to $DIR
# i.e "filters.local.from", and they will be processed when
# this script is run
