Thanks for sharing this code. Could you please clarify who the copyright holder is and what license it is being released under, thanks.

You are free to use and change, i don't have any plans to impose license. Its Open Source :)

Thanks @tomalex0 but I don't believe it works that way; if you created the software, the copyright automatically belongs to you, only you have the right to use the software. If you're happy to let other people use the software for their own means you need to state what rights you are granting them.

As someone who would like to use, modify and redistribute this code I need to know that I have the legal right to do so. This is what a software license is for, as without a license I would have none of these rights.

If you want to be very permissive in the rights that you grant users you may want to distribute the software under the simple and popular MIT License.

Thank you so much for making this available!

Perhaps you could add something to the code to that effect? I think the client I'm writing my app for may be nervous about an ambiguous license, no matter how generous you're being!

Thank you. It was really great of you to share this so freely!
