Can I get some feedback on this email? Is it appropriate? Hi Markus,
I got your email address from https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/. I'm a contributor to the guixsd project, a free linux distribution. I commited a package named libtsm. The package contains two files (wcwidth.c and wcwidth.h) that you're the author of. I mistook the license of for being an ISC license which looks similar: * Permission to use, copy, modify, and distribute this software * for any purpose and without fee is hereby granted. The author * disclaims all warranties with regard to this software. Permission to use, copy, modify, and/or distribute this software for any purpose with or without fee is hereby granted, provided that the above copyright notice and this permission notice appear in all copies. The difference legally is a big one. According to the FSF's definition of free software, this makes the files under the current license non-free. My question is if this was your intention, and if not, if you could make the files available under a free license. Otherwise the we can't include libtsm in our distro. :/ Thank you very much for your consideration.
