PubSub protocol uses external code with unclear/public license

Open abroekhuis opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

For the pubsub wire protocol a function from https://github.com/PeterScott/netstring-c is used. The code is listed as "public domain" and does not have an explicit license. Do we need to include something in the LICENSE file?

If I am correct public domain means no license, but how to handle this I am not sure.

Bjorn Petri added (and removed) netstring support a while back, see https://github.com/apache/celix/commit/0b8b3fb6386a2698c88ca8207fac3b2cbc0aaca2 Maybe that is an option to use?
