Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2012-11-23 20:19:03 UTC
The package consists of a single C source file with about 300 lines, which is certainly copyrightable. So some sort of license is needed.

Definitely not "as-is".
Comment 1 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2013-05-01 17:26:25 UTC
Mail sent to upstream (hddled@very.puzzling.org).
Comment 2 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2013-05-02 09:59:24 UTC
Answer received. The author, Michael Chapman, has released hddled.c into the public domain: http://members.optusnet.com.au/foonly/whirlpool/code/hddled.c
Comment 3 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2013-05-02 10:42:41 UTC
Bumped to 0.3 (which is unchanged from 0.2 except for the license).
