Also this file is not MIT
Release/include/cpprest/details/SafeInt3.hpp
Copyright: Microsoft Corporation
License: Ms-PL
I'd like to chime in that this also needs to be addressed, so legal departments can safely allow usage of the library and shipping Software based on it, see #270. I know, this might sound like nit-picking, but within the corporate environment one cannot get 3rd party usage approvals if the licenses are inconsistent.
So, could we please have a 2.9.2 "release" to address this?
The main.cpp and glue files are still licensed under Apache because they originate from the android NDK:
/*
* Copyright (C) 2010 The Android Open Source Project
*
* Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License");
These pieces are also only used for the android test runner and are not present in applications using the actual cpprestsdk runtimes.
SafeInt3.hpp
is also a separate piece of software from cpprestsdk, so it is not subject to this license change (it was Ms-PL before, so we've left it as-is).
Please do ask more questions if this is at all unclear.
Thanks for your clarification. The SafeInt3.hpp
separate license has become kind of a headache. Would it be at all possible to contact the original authors (Microsoft) and re-license this single file under MIT?
I am not sure it is sufficient to just contain the license in the header file (only) as you distribute the C++ REST SDK as source code. It also makes discovering additional licenses in sub-components a burden for the users of the library and causes legal insecurities. Also, does distribution of the overall MIT licensed C++ REST SDK in compiled/object code comply with the requirements of the MS-PL header file?
