Subject: Re: dissembler distribution terms?
Date: Tue, 30 Apr 2013 13:32:16 -0400

Hi Ulrich,

Thanks for the message.  I never really had thought about licences,
but I think this should have the ISC license, as it is very permissive
and it was my intent that source code be used by anyone to learn from.

Please let me know if there's any further action you need from me.
You and gentoo have my permission to add an appropriate ISC license to
the source code wherever needed.

jon
