mini-httpd contains early portions of code commited by Rob McCool which seem to originate from NCSA httpd.
Just htpasswd.c (which is what I get when searching for Rob McCool), or something else?
How do we proceed to clarify this situation?
Figure out (from the history of the code, etc.) if that license applies.Looking into this a bit, I found this repository (which I am _assuming_, but have not verified, is a faithful import of NCSA httpd):
https://github.com/TooDumbForAName/ncsa-httpd/I definitely see some code from mini-httpd's htpasswd.c in cgi-src/util.c in the HEAD of that repository above.
Looking at git blame on that, it came from auth/htpasswd.c in httpd 1.1: https://github.com/TooDumbForAName/ncsa-httpd/commit/9572b626b7f10ab57e4715b3f3ff41b3f0696684#diff-7c5a48b0225b3fd1048000f4dfe2c4d9f56faa29f74876ff724384244d6d099d So that seems to be the original source of the code in question. In that same version, the top-level README says: ---- This code is in the public domain.
