License for the code? #10

Open crazyBaboon opened 3 years ago

Hi,

This code has no license so it is not easy to figure out whether to use it or not.

Could you please license the code?

Thanks!

There is license in read-me at the end:

Copying

All of the source code and documentation for gifenc is released into the public domain and provided without warranty of any kind.

crazyBaboon commented 3 years ago

Fair enough. But you could drop the 'unlicensed license' to make it clearer?

Hi @crazyBaboon. Works in the public domain don't need licenses, they just need a clear written dedication of the work to the public domain, which is what we have in the "Copying" section of the README.

Thank you Mr. IceCreamMan, oops I mean Iecram. Good code man. Really saved my life, in my search for a Gif decoder.

The top version GifLib made me urk when they stated I must ensure that I open the file in binary mode, so that Windows doesn't currupt my file. I didn't like that idea, because files opened for read only shouldn't be able to get currupted.

Luckily I have my own file library, that doesn't have a binary mode option. All I needed was to copy your read image data code, and make the necessary changes.

Thank you for your REAME file as it guided me and allowed me to understand your code much easier. Parsing a GIF file is quite easy, but compression algorithms really is a pain. So here is a bottle of Henessy to you. Chears.
