Hello, I'm PR #13122. I'm 8 months old... well, technically 2y3m old because I'm reincarnation of #11274. Can anybody take care of me?
This still has issues with copyright, doesn’t it? It pulls code from elsewhere into an existing source file.

I don't think so. After further investigation I discovered that any emulators which support hrust compression (e.g. ZESarUX, Unreal) just copied this from original hrust's cpp examples which were released more than 10 years ago.

But that still creates a copyright issue, doesn’t it? The example code is substantial in this case and has some implicit license (all rights reserved if not otherwise specified), and this pulls it into a source file, which then complicates copyright on that source file.
This is one of original authors' repo: https://github.com/psbhlw/hrust13-hrum35-pc/blob/master/dehrust13/dehrust13.cpp I'll try to find if he still active and receive his approval. or... is it possible just to add him to our copyright header?

Well, looking at that repo, it has “Hrumer, Nikita Burnashev, HalfElf, psb.” in the readme file, and no license specified, which means we can’t use that code legally – it’s implicitly “all rights reserved”.
If they’re prepared to provide it under an acceptable license, I’d rather have it confined to a separate source file to avoid making the copyright situation for sinclair/spec_snqk.cpp being made murkier.
If they can’t/won’t provide the code under an acceptable license, it needs a clean reimplementation (“Chinese wall”, etc.).
What would be appropriate license example which can not cause the issue for us?
I was talking to psb, he told that HalfElf is original author of dehrust plugin. I received verbal consent for usage it under BSD-3 in MAME from HalfElf
Hi, I'm HalfElf and as original author of dehrust sourses I'm granting permission to use them under BSD-3 license.
@cuavas here you go. I also added HalfElf as a co-holder, what else is missing?
