Sorry I wasn't reading this email address for the past week and so replied slowly.

DecodeIR was and is public domain.  I thought I had made that clear in text files attached to it.

I don't believe I was the last person to update DecodeIR.  But I'm not certain of that.  I did all the the work in the first several versions.  But I thought someone else updated it after I did, and I don't know if his work was GPL or otherwise differently licensed from the original public domain versions.

If you have a version that appears to be by me, then it is definitely public domain, but might need more work to make it Linux friendly than a later version whose developer was using Linux (but I'm not sure where that might be posted).

I haven't looked at any IR stuff myself for several years.

Hi!

Sorry to disturb. This is an old address, and I don't know if you still
are reading it. Making a try.

It's about the DecodeIR library you created. We are about to try to
package some applications using this library in Linux distributions such
as Ubuntu and Fedora. In order to do that, we need to clarify if it's ok
to use your code.

I have understood that you have made to code available to be used by
others on the jp1 forum (?). However, the conditions are far from clear.

 From our point of view, the best would be if you added some license
information to the zip archive. However, it would also be perfectly OK
if you just answered this email e. g., stating that the DecodeIR
library is either

- Not publicly available.
- In public domain (anyone can do anything)
- Can be used according to license terms such as GPL version 2 or MIT.

If you could provide this information it would be a big, big help fir us.

Cheers!
