Heh, I did not know that that little utility I wrote for the wolf3d-shareware /
clonekeen packages ended up in the dynamite svn / debian
dynamite package. If you look at id-shr-extract.c it is a copy
of the extract.c from the rpmfusion sources, and it is:
Copyright (C) 2007 Hans de Goede <[email protected]>
:)
I do notice that they've stripped the rest of the copyright header though,
which said:
This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
(at your option) any later version.
...
In the svn patch in the Debian pkg the header is just:
/* utility to extract the .SHR installer data files of early ID software
shareware games
Copyright (C) 2007 Hans de Goede <[email protected]>
*/
:|
I guess upstream dynamite may have done this because the rest of
dynamite is MIT licensed, I wish they would have just asked though
(maybe they could not find me as me @hhs.nl email has been dead for ages)
For the record I'm fine with re-licensing this tiny blurb of source-code
under MIT.
