2 years ago Hi. So far this is not really using a proper license.
The original Snippet is probably ZERO PERCENT of the code, so it is irrelevant. The original snippet just gave some inspiration, not really code.
I am still undecided if I should use GPL or CC here.
At this moment I can confirm it is free to use and you should use at your own risk. You can also use it into any GPL, CC, MIT, whatever thingy you may want. I care not. It just would be nice not to steal everything and tell everyone you did it yourself.
I will probably upgrade the license when I have time to roll out the long waiting update I have here (will probably be v3). At that time I will also change the v2 license (or not LOL).
I reserve the right to change the license if and whenever I see fit though.
Cheers
Gus
First of all, thank you for pdfScale, it is really great!
However, I noticed that the repository does not have a licence file. There is a mention in the README file that the software is “free”, but could you specify under what terms the software is released?
Michael J. Cole's code snippet is released under a CC BY-SA 4.0 due to the way StackOverflow works. Thus, correct me if I am wrong, but this project should also be released under a CC BY-SA 4.0. Another alternative would be to release it under the GPLv3 licence, since the CC BY-SA 4.0 is one-way compatible with the GPLv3.
