[Question] Can I steal part of your code? #229

Closed marcussacana closed 4 years ago

marcussacana commented 4 years ago

I want implement the LZ77 decompressor/compressor to my program (open source & freeware) But well, Why the hell I will lost time writing a fucking compression algorithm when I can just copy?

So, it's basically this, I don't see any license in the repositorie then I'm asking.

I'm fine with you taking any code that I've written that currently exists in the brawltools repository, under either the MIT License or Apache License 2.0.

That being said, I don't think I wrote the LZ77 code, so you'd have to look at the git history for that code and find out who did, and ask them. Unfortunately when I forked this project there was no license attached to it, and I can't really make any sort of copyright claim about other people's work.

Okay, thank you, I will do a proper research, because after some tests looks like my game isn't using a default LZ77 algorithm, He have the lz77 signature but I don't found any code that decompressed the data, well, if I need of the code of this tool I will give a look in the git history then, thank you.
