Well, I never thought of it that way
-
I was telling a friend of mine who knows a little Arduino coding and is somewhat familiar with my graphics library that I was porting the SVG bits from C and C++ to C#. It's because it wasn't all mine to begin with and I pulled it from a defunct open source project called nanosvg. Well, I don't fully understand it. I told him porting it to C# would facilitate me understanding the code. He called it "code laundering" I am ded. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: From the mouths of casual coders.

Long back, it was called as "porting", isn't it?

As I understand that is incorrect application of the term.

The defunct part is irrelevant. What matters is what the actual license is. The most liberal type of that license says basically 'do whatever you want just don't cry if it fails'. If that is the license then it does in fact explicitly give you the right to port it and thus it is not 'laundering'. There are many variations of 'open source' licensing though. And some would fall into that category depending on what you intend to do with the code.

I'm pretty sure he was joking. The defunct part is only relevant inasmuch as I cannot contact the author.

I'm sure you'll iron things out.

Which is not necessary if it is the type of open source licensing that I suggested.
Well it would be nice for understanding the code, which is the point of this exercise. It's MIT. Same as mine.

In the very good 'ol days when we used to LAN Party, we used to get together on Friday night, doing setup on switches and pc towers. This was more of a "lets have some beers and drinks buds" than set-up. All done, we are ready for Saturday, start the day and the first thing we do is starting to copy each others drives for music, code and who knows what else... Then, we set-up again and eventually we play COD for 3 hours before bed time. Did we "steal/port/loan/PromiseToNeverUseIt" code, nope, it was at those days "public" domain, so take it! :-D Of course to understand it better, nothing else. :)

Absolutely, and it's funny because he just checked in a fix 2 weeks ago. Before that it had been a year. I assumed abandoned.
