Hi there,

I'm interested in using your software as the basis for a hex view component in an IDE I'm developing. However, there is no license file in the project so I'm not sure whether you allow derivative projects. Can you tell me what the license of your project is?

Thanks

Thanks for interest, the code comes from GPL license at http://code.google.com/p/qhexedit2/

So it should be GPL

I transferred the QHexEdit2 to https://github.com/Simsys/qhexedit2 https://owa.nexus.ox.ac.uk/owa/redir.aspx?C=012hyGomyE-NVKNq_ksLw192DtY9RNIIvElfUIODsoALI1-GvrtyxTKbiRmeSM-flOxgDVtmz2c.&URL=https%3a%2f%2fgithub.com%2fSimsys%2fqhexedit2 and I will maintain it there.

The code is already licensed under LGPL 2.1, so I do not understand, what you want to change.

See: https://github.com/Simsys/qhexedit2/blob/master/src/license.txt https://owa.nexus.ox.ac.uk/owa/redir.aspx?C=012hyGomyE-NVKNq_ksLw192DtY9RNIIvElfUIODsoALI1-GvrtyxTKbiRmeSM-flOxgDVtmz2c.&URL=https%3a%2f%2fgithub.com%2fSimsys%2fqhexedit2%2fblob%2fmaster%2fsrc%2flicense.txt

Thanks for writing me again and making it clear, what you need. I will be happy to help you.
