Due +to the popularity, and obvious benefits of using centralized package +managers the project went defunct a few months ago. Unfortunately their +website and SVN went down as well. Which is a bit sad, because there were +a few gems in their code. Like `binreloc.c`. + +This repository maintains a copy of `binreloc.c` and maybe the one or +another maintenance work will be done on it. + +License and Authorship +---------------------- + +The original license of `binreloc.c` was *Public Domain*. Unfortunately +some (many) jurisdictions don't recognize *Public Domain* work, in which +case a default authorship copyright is assumed. + +Hence this repository will run under the WTFPL, which is as close as it +gets to public domain, but due to explicit "terms and conditions" should +be legally sound also in jurisdictions without a concept of public domain. |
