However the author has asserted fairly strongly in the email in the License section that the license can be chosen from a broad list, and since the rest of the project is MIT/Expat, this seems to be the logical choice. . The Copyright date is taken from the modified times in http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/download/transtab.tar.gz License: Expat The following email message from the original author asserts the license for the code: .

Should I ever get around to making another transtab release (an old, unfinished project), I'll try to remember to add the following license text somewhere: . Markus Kuhn -- yyyy-mm-dd http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/short-license.html . Executive summary: I promise not to sue you. . Hope this helped ... . Markus . -- Markus Kuhn, Computer Laboratory, University of Cambridge http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ || CB3 0FD, Great Britain . The following is the text of the sugested url, retrieved on Sunday, February 5, around 22:28 UTC . http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/short-license.html Short code license . If you have reached this web page because you found its URL included as a license-reference comment in a short piece of published computer software source code by its author(s), next to their name, as in, for example, . Markus Kuhn -- 1999-12-31 License: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/short-license.html . then you can assume the following: . This code was published by its author(s) as an easily reusable piece of free software, for example to demonstrate some particular programming practice. It is likely too short or obvious to skilled programmers to fall under, or deserve, the protection of copyright legislation. It is also likely to be useless on its own, unless verified and integrated into a larger program by an experienced software engineer, and therefore no consumer protection, warranty or liability rights apply either. Therefore, its author(s) refused to disfigure its appearance with a lengthy copyright license text. . Nevertheless, overly cautious lawyers (possibly as part of a “due diligence exercise”) occasionally contact authors of such short code snippets for a formal copyright license. . Therefore, the author(s) agree(s) to clarify that, at the user’s choice, the code can be used under any of the following licenses, or any compatible with them: . • Apache License, 2.0 • BSD license • GNU General Public License (GPL) • GNU Library or "Lesser" General Public License (LGPL) • MIT license • Mozilla Public License 1.1 (MPL) • Common Development and Distribution License • Eclipse Public License .
