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 -

Would the project accept a patch that makes this change?
