Hello, I asked in another group but this is probably a better place. What is the intended license of the mfcembed program? In mfcembed.cpp I see this:
* Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a * copy of this Mozilla sample software and associated documentation files * (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including * without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, * distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit * persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the * following conditions: * * The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included * in all copies or substantial portions of the Software. * * THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS * OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, * FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.

In other words, a standard MIT license. But some other files in the same directory, even files written by the same person, look like this: * Version: NPL 1.1/GPL 2.0/LGPL 2.1 * * The contents of this file are subject to the Netscape Public License * Version 1.1 (the "License"); you may not use this file except in * compliance with the License.

If you wish to allow use of your version of this file only * under the terms of either the GPL or the LGPL, and not to allow others to * use your version of this file under the terms of the NPL, indicate your * decision by deleting the provisions above and replace them with the notice * and other provisions required by the GPL or the LGPL. If you do not delete * the provisions above, a recipient may use your version of this file under * the terms of any one of the NPL, the GPL or the LGPL. So, which goes? The MIT license is far less restrictive than even the LGPL and I think this may be what the authors intended... but the current situation (in my 1.2.1 tree) is a bit unclear. Any clues? -- Best regards, Per Lundberg / Capio ApS Phone: +46-18-4186040 Fax: +46-18-4186049 Web: http://www.capio.com
