The problem with public domain is that it doesn't hold in all jurisdictions. Anyhow, I renounce any copyright claims over the code in that repo. I assign all rights to the public domain, and in jurisdictions who don't allow that, I freely allow anyone to use it under the terms of the BSD license. -- Tom. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
