Does someone know under which license is this released? Could not find this anywhere. Without the license specified, the author still retains the copyright.

Also, assuming this was a work for hire, not sure who the copyright belongs to (the author or the client) given the non-payment.
- mmahemoff 15y agoI wish people would include licenses even on first release, and Github could help with this. It's probably one area where Google Code has an advantage, by making the license explicit metadata. I've generally had good results from mailing the creator when there's no license mentioned - they usually didn't bother and will add a license, and often quite flexible about which license.
- Sandman 15y agoWithout the license specified, the author still retains the copyright. Just one minor correction: The author holds the copyright regardless of whether the code is released under a license (open source or proprietary) or not. The fact that he is the copyright holder is what gives him the right to release the code under any license (and change the license later, should he wish to do so).
