Thanks! Of course I will make sure we have a proper attribution.
In the meantime, please review http://sourceforge.net/p/synce/patches/31/ for the history around inclusion of id-shr-extract.c
Hi,
Ah, so I did give permission already, I did not remember, sorry.
Note that the Summary of this issue is slightly off. My copyright was maintained in the current code, it is just that the GPL license header was removed without replacing it with a BSD (or MIT) one. As said in the sf ticket, I'm fine with the re-licensing.
On closer inspection I see that none of the other .c files have a license header either, the only license-statement is in the LICENSE file, which does point the id-shr-extract.c, so there really is no issue (my bad, sorry) and this ticket can be closed.
Preferably all .c files would be given a proper copyright + license headers, this is generally seen as better then just having a single top level LICENSE file.
Regards,
Hans
Sorry for the confusion,
The "Can you please attribute due copyright to Hans de Goede for id-shr-extract.c" was originaly only meant for debian/copyright
, so there's nothing to fix here; this can be handled in a 0.1.1-3
package.
I admit to a certain laziness regarding proper copyright + license headers!
And I might have switched from BSD to MIT license without consulting Hans, sorry about that.
@evgeni @jwrdegoede
Can you please attribute due copyright + MIT license grant to Hans de Goede for id-shr-extract.c ?
Greets,
Alexandre Detiste

Hi,
Heh, I did not know that that little utility I wrote for the wolf3d-shareware / clonekeen packages ended up in the dynamite svn / debian dynamite package. If you look at id-shr-extract.c it is a copy of the extract.c from the rpmfusion sources, and it is:
I do notice that they've stripped the rest of the copyright header though, which said:
In the svn patch in the Debian pkg the header is just:
/* utility to extract the .SHR installer data files of early ID software shareware games
*/
:|
I guess upstream dynamite may have done this because the rest of dynamite is MIT licensed, I wish they would have just asked though (maybe they could not find me as me @hhs.nl email has been dead for ages)
For the record I'm fine with re-licensing this tiny blurb of source-code under MIT.
