You do not have to add any copyright notices if you use libdivide in your binaries. If you simply add libdivide.h to your sources and use it, you are complying with the license. It is my hope with libdivide that anyone can use it for anything. The license is only so that nobody else claims to be the original author." "It’s fine to modify libdivide to remove pieces you don’t use, or just copy and paste the parts you do use. However it’s not reasonable to ask me to contribute libdivide "without the licensing part;” in fact I cannot do so because libdivide has more than one contributor. The good news is that using libdivide under its license is very easy! You only have to include the 14 line license text (under "ZLib license”). The simplest way is with a source code comment in the file itself - I see you have several other acknowledgements in rte_reciprocal.h, so that seems like a natural place. A separate acknowledgements file is also fine if you prefer. I hope that explains things and thanks for understanding, _fish" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The authors concern is contributing it to BSD licence will be a weak link to the original author credits. > > > Thanks, > Konstantin Thanks, Pavan
