Hey Nikolai!

I found your reply on this SO post (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2188469/calculate-the-size-of-a-folder/28660040#28660040) about finding the precise size of a folder on disk very useful and was interested in using your NRFileManager extension as part of the Firefox for iOS codebase (https://github.com/mozilla/firefox-ios/commit/d456246a2b8a4a11ccbf82c4c35b79cf4c7ddef5#commitcomment-12576605) but are unable to do so since the current license on the source conflicts with our MPL2.0 license we use for all Mozilla projects. Would it be possible to change this to a MPL2.0-friendly license?

Thanks again for the informative reply on SO :)

Hi Stephan!

I hereby grant you the right to use and redistribute my code from NRFileManager using MPL2.0.

Is that OK for your purpose? Hope I could help :)

Thanks, Nikolai. In the copy we land in firefox-ios we'll include the standard MPL2.0 license block, and also a comment crediting you and pointing back to the NRFoundation repo.

Much appreciated!

@NikolaiRuhe Hi Nikolai!

Can I use NRFoundation under MPL-2.0? I'm wondering if MPL would cover the whole project, not only NRFileManager code.

Thanks!! :)

Hi @beanmilk,

I feel like the most of NRFoundation is somewhat outdated, but I have no problems if you use it anyway. So:

I hereby release NRFoundation under the MPL 2.0.

@NikolaiRuhe Thanks for the confirmation!! :)
