Description
the original website where this code was from (which was redirected to from a .edu page as far as i remember) includes language encouraging people to download the zip file containing the code and compiled executables for windows.
This and the endorsement of a windows vista version of the code written by someone else leads me to believe that the code is intended to be under a license that is at least somewhat open. However, with no mention of a specific license in either the root folder, readme, or source files that I have seen so far, there is no way to definitively know the true intentions of the original author. All there is in the readme is the following statement:
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Use of this software is entirely at your own risk. It is provided without any support beyond this document.
The program was tested on Windows XP, with Service Pack 2, and .NET framework 2.0 installed. You may have to download these to make the program run.
THIS PROGRAM IS PRIMARILY DISTRIBUTED TO INSTERESTED DEVELOPERS AS SAMPLE CODE. IT IS NOT MEANT TO BE A ROBUST END-USER APPLICATION. MANY PARAMETERS ARE NOT MODIFIABLE WITHOUT PROGRAMMING KNOWLEDGE.
As far as my contributions are concerned, I have no issue at present with people treating my work on this repository as open source under terms similar to an MIT or GPLv2 license, however, I will not be adding a license to the whole repo as I cannot say what the intentions of Johnny Lee - the original creator of this code - are and thus cannot apply a license to his work without his permission.
