I tried to get Dan's thoughts on cloning parts of the Parsec interface and some of the documentation but none of the emails addresses I've tried seem to work. What's allowed when it comes to duplicating something like an API? What about the documentation? I intend it to be released under BSD3 which I believe is used for Parsec as well. Anyone know how I can reach Dan? -- Johan ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Johan Tibell <johan.tibell@gmail.com> Date: Jan 22, 2008 2:56 PM Subject: ByteString Parsec clone To: daan@cs.uu.nl I've written, but yet not published, a ByteString version of parts of the Parsec API as a part of a web application server project. I've currently used almost the exact wording from your documentation (as the semantics of the functions is intended to be the same as in Parsec.) Are you OK with that? P.S. I intend to give my library a different name as it has different module structure and doesn't support a lot of Parsec's features. It will be BSD licensed. Best regards, Johan Tibell

legally, since it's released under BSD, you're allowed to do all that (as long as you don't delete the bit of attribution that the BSD requires :-) although a friendly attempt to contact him might be nice anyway, but don't worry too much if he's disappeared from the face of cyberspace, is the usual practice, I believe.

As a practical matter. How do you manage attributions. Can you put a other-project.LICENSE file which is a copy of the other projects LICENSE file in the root of your project or do you have to keep track of intra file copyright (i.e. this snippet was written by this person, etc.)? -- Johan
