MoveOut: License? I want to extend it

[danielo515]

Hello,

I used MoveOut for some time, but due to it's limitations I ended up extending its functionality. Some of the things I added are:

• Comma separated list of values for included files (*.jp?g,*.png,*.gif)
• Relative path management
• Fixed some bugs like overwriting not working
• Added age to the list of rule's option, so you can move files based on last modification time

My plan is to create a forked program from it and release it as open source. But I would need to know MoveOut's license and I need original author agreement.

Thanks.

Hopefully skrommel, the author will respond and, ideally, post a little statement about his apps in general.
Could you perhaps draft a short minimal suggested "license" for him, that he could adopt?

Having said that -- skrommel has never expressed anything but approval for people taking his source code and modifying it, and if your intention is to make an open source fork, I cannot fathom a scenario where skrommel would object to that for the MoveOut tool.

I'm not an expert on licenses. In fact I started to use them just some weeks ago. I usually use simplified BSD clause 3.

Sorry for bumping this, but I'm very interested.

This, as he's the only one that can answer your question.  Bumping isn't going to help in this case.

Hi danielo515,

A ton of time has elapsed since you posted. Did you end up updating MoveOut? If so, will you be posting a copy for us to play with?

I'm looking forward to see what you've done.

(I'll PM him right after writing this.)
