Hello all,
In using liblmdb in LumoSQL, we noticed that the FNV code in mdb.c has a non-binding license comment that doesn't match the way it is used in lmdb:
"please do not copyright this code. This code is in the public domain."
followed by a typical public domain disclaimer.
I asked Landon Curt Noll, the author of this code, who proposed this alternative:
Title: FNV Hash Author: Landon Curt Noll - http://www.isthe.com/chongo/ Source: http://www.isthe.com/chongo/tech/comp/fnv License: CC BY 4.0 - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Share - copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format Adapt - remix, transform, and build upon the material for any purpose, even commercially. The licensor cannot revoke these freedoms as long as you follow the license terms. NOTE: This code was changed to use the 'CC BY 4.0' license by permission of the author.
Would the project accept a patch that makes this change?
Thanks,
