License?

[christopher-john-czettel]

Hi Todd!

I am interested in hacking and contributing to your fork of LambdaMOO. Looking through the files I could not find any references under which license you are distributing this.

Am I assuming correctly that this would be the MIT license?

Please be so kind and provide info which license you are using, perhaps create a LICENSE file through the git project settings.

Looking forward to working with you.

Chris

I'm not sure. This is the original license for LambdaMOO which stunt is derived: Copyright (c) 1994, 1995, 1996 Xerox Corporation. All rights reserved. Portions of this code were written by Stephen White, aka ghond. Use and copying of this software and preparation of derivative works based upon this software are permitted.

Todd also uses a number of libraries like YAJL, which for example has a similarly broad license: /*

@christopher-john-czettel thank you for your interest. yes, for the most part, licensing is noted in the respective source files.

[christopher-john-czettel]

I guess "pseudo-MIT" is good enough for me, although I am still curious and might drop an email to Pavel@Xerox.Com - should he still exist. ;-)

Anyway...

Thanks for your answers!

I have a few further questions/ideas I will put in seperate issues.
