Question on Using Codeshare code

Archive

Is it permissible, to share on codeshare, modified code found on Codeshare?
Or is the original authors authorization required?

Example:
Project - WebSocket Client for .NET and .NETMF
JDI WebSocketClient

I thought it was beautiful code but I changed it more to my liking. Mostly the Windows Form was changed so you can select the different Logging Modes and not have to change
things and recompile.

@ hagster -

Thanks…
I read that post before and It’s like a lawyer reading something to me…

I’m sure I would miss something so I guess I should not post.

Include Copyright
Describes whether the original copyright must be retained.[/em]

If there is a copyright statement in the source code files then you must keep it. Aside; I’m not really sure if a licence is required if there is not assertion of copyright.

[em]Include License
Including the full text of license in modified software.[/em]

select Apache 2 as the codeshare licence.

[em]State Changes
Stating significant changes made to software.
[/em]

If there is a change log then add to it. If not create one.

[em]Include Notice
If the library has a “NOTICE” file with attribution notes, you must include that NOTICE when you distribute. You may append to this NOTICE file.[/em]

As it says. If such a Notice file exists then keep it.

@ hagster -

Thank you for taking the time to respond.

I have erased all of the code so it is no longer available.
Not smart enough to understand if I would have everything covered!

@ willgeorge - Please post your code on Code Share. I am the author of that code, and I happily grant you permission to create and publish a modified version. Thank you for making use of my code.

I’ve been meaning to update the code for 4.3, but just haven’t had the time.
