Re: [Passwordsafe-devel] Compatibility of MIT License and ArtisticLicense

Hi,

As I understand the MIT license it should be possible to incorporate this
project into the PasswordSafe source tree, providing:
1. The code is in a directory of it's own
2. PasswordSafe's README.txt file & credits.html states that the PPC version
incorporates code from this projext, along with the license terms
3. Files with modifications to the original be clearly marked as modified.

Of course, it would be best to get the project owner's explicit permission.

Subject: [Passwordsafe-devel] Compatibility of MIT License and
ArtisticLicense

X-Post to wcelibcex-devel and passwordsafe-devel

Hi all,

I am currently in the process of porting Passwordsafe (which is under
Artistic License) to the PocketPC OS. I had to discover that MS didn't
implement a number standard C run-time functions, though they are declared
in the usual header files (time.h for instance).

After some googleing and surfing I found the wcelibcex project (which stands
under the MIT License) on Sourceforge which fills most severe gaps in MS's
implementation.

My question to both sides, in particular to the respective copyright
holders, is now whether both licenses are compatible.
Is it acceptable to distribute wcelibcex source code along with Passwordsafe
for PocketPC source code and to incorporate binaries of wcelibcex into
binary Passwordsafe releases?
In my understanding it is ok, but that shouldn't count here :-)

Both license texts can be found here:
http://www.opensource.org/licenses/artistic-license.php
http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php

Interested readers can find sources for both projects here:

PC/pwsafe/pwsafe/>
<http://wcelibcex.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/wcelibcex/trunk/>

Regards,

Steffen
