No, I know about that. The repository no longer exists. Not to justify my behaviour, just an explanation: - I have made several attempts to contact Dave before (on the availability of updated patched, not the license), but to no avail. - As, I presume, he has made his patches available to the general public with the intention to help others with a similar problem and, I presume, he has no longer interest in maintaining the patches himself, I assumed he would not have a problem in someone else putting an effort in creating an updated version of his patches. Yes, these are just pre- and assumptions. - For the same reason I presume he has made the earlier version of his patches available to the general public, I wanted to make the updated version available to the general public. I am aware of all the effort he (and Remco) has put in it, which is why I credited them. - I know how copyright works. Of course. I am aware that there is no room for these afformentioned pre- and assumptions in copyright. So, I just removed the repository from github.com. -- Rejo Zenger . <r...@zenger.nl> . 0x21DBEFD4 . <https://rejo.zenger.nl> GPG encrypted e-mail preferred . +31.6.39642738 . @rejozenger
