is not easy. I didn't care about the owners of the code there. So I own nothing

I have a specific interest in your circular queue implementation:
http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Queue/Usage#Faster_Version

I used this (or rather, I adapted it) in a private project which is not being distributed, so hence there were no licensing issues. I can't remember how I found it but I think it was when you posted it to the digitalmars.D mailing list: http://forum.dlang.org/post/grepielsmapflndpk...@forum.dlang.org

... and at the time I think I just assumed that since you were pointing people to it and were the author, you'd licensed it permissively.

However, more recently I rather stupidly copied my adapted version into a public project of mine, and I suddenly realized the licensing situation.

In the worst case scenario, I'll strip it out of the code, but I was hoping that you might be willing to license this specific code under Boost or something else GPL-compatible.
