Hi, I've seen that js-spark-md5 is based on work by Joseph Myers. Is it possible to know the original license for the Joseph Myers' code? Thank you, Alex

Here's the algorithm: http://www.myersdaily.org/joseph/javascript/md5-text.html There's no mention to any license though.

Perhaps you could try to get in touch with him?

Alex-Vaduva commented 6 years ago

It's true, there is no license mentioned. Maybe the code is under GPL, or maybe the author would ask for money. I found this email address: Joseph Myers josephmyers@yahoo.com You could write him, if you want to clarify the licensing terms.

I've sent him an email, lets wait.

I've got the following reply:

André,

Yes, that is fine. I have placed my code into the public domain. I appreciate so much your letting me know that you are using it for this important project! Best wishes to you!

Sincerely, Dr. Joseph Myers
