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: <http://passwordsafe.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/passwordsafe/branches/V1_92PPC/pwsafe/pwsafe/> <http://wcelibcex.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/wcelibcex/trunk/> Regards, Steffen |
