Hello mingw-w64 fellows,
I want to copy two functions ConvertStringToBSTR and ConvertBSTRToString to mingw-w64 to create a comsupp library. But there is something about license which prevents the addition. How can I copy the code without any issue?
What license would be acceptable to you? MIT? BSD? Or does it even need to be CC0?
We have a history of cooperating and relicensing code when it makes sense. In this case, a quick look into the git history of commsupp.cpp (with the --follow option) reveals that the copyright of this file is exclusively held by:
- Hermès Bélusca-Maïto hermes.belusca-maito@reactos.org - Thomas Faber thomas.faber@reactos.org
Even though commsupp.cpp is almost a decade old, both developers are still active in the ReactOS Project. If you say what license suits you, we could open a PR to publicly relicense commsupp.cpp and ask Hermès and Thomas for approval.
Best regards,
Colin Finck
