License?

[nogy]

Hi,

I was looking at your code just now but found that it does not name a license? Is this MIT / LGPL / GPL? Could you detail that so it's more obvious as to how/if it can be used in other projects?

I feel since it leans on https://github.com/agl/curve25519-donna it might use a similar BSD style license as well https://github.com/agl/curve25519-donna/blob/master/LICENSE.md

Best regards many thanks,

Bastian

It is derived from Andrew Moon's (nickname floodyberry) ed25519-donna, so please ask there (and you already did). I'm politely waiting for the answer.

His other projects have a LICENSE line in the README, and it is either “MIT or public domain” or just “public domain”. I'm 100% sure it is either of those, and he just forgot to write it down somewhere.

Thanks a lot.

I missed that comment. I was looking for a license linked in github which most projects have since it is easier to spot.
