Salam, I have had a look at hdate's source and I like it. Very organized and actually has the potential to be maintained. However, I am very confused by the license. There is a GPL license file in the package, yet the source code has the following (excerpt from hconv.c): /* hconv.c * * Copyright (c) 1992 by Waleed A. Muhanna * * Permission for nonprofit use and redistribution of this software and * its documentation is hereby granted without fee, provided that the * above copyright notice appear in all copies and that both that * copyright notice and this permission notice appear in supporting * documentation. * * No representation is made about the suitability of this software for * software for any purpose. It is provided "as is" without express or * implied warranty. * * Send any comments/suggestions/fixes/additions to: * wmuhanna at magnus dot acs dot ohio-state dot edu * */ The above header comment (present in each file) is rather contradictory of the GPL.. so unless this issue is cleared I am afraid it will be very difficult to make use of the code as-is.
