Say for instance, I have found an algorithm for scalar function minimization on a website, written in C. It is posted with a license for use. If I write something based on this hypothetical code, is it then clearly also licensed in the same manner?
Granted, I know that this is guile-user and not guile-lawyer, but in many cases the transformation from procedural to functional is kind of a radical re-imagining. I usually try to contact the people and ask them directly, but was wondering what was the general consensus in cases where the original author did not answer?
