This particular anecdote was very likely about Doom’s fast inverse square root code, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_inverse_square_root. I’m sure you’d agree that there are many other use cases where one would need to compute 1/sqrt(x). Ending up with an exact copy of the Doom implementation really isn’t great from a copyright and license compliance point of view. -- Clemens Lang RHEL Crypto Team Red Hat -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
