Hi,

I've got one more licensing question.
There are numerous code examples in Lazarus wiki, I need to include one of them into my application. What license should I use for this code and how should I specify the origin of this code?

To be more precise I need PoTranslator unit example from http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Translations_/_i18n_/_localizations_for_programs but if a general rule is possible it would be great.

BTW, no license is specified in the wiki pages footer, just

Content is available under .

May be it is a good idea to add one there too?

Note that you don't need this TPoTranslator class example anymore if you use 0.9.29 snapshots. You only need to use DefaultTranslator unit. It already can work with .po files.

Great news Maxim, this resolved my problem.

As for general solution, I agree with what Felipe suggested about putting wiki content into public domain.

Thank you guys for your quick help.

I think that code examples should be licensed under public domain. The idea is exactly that you can copy them without any restrictions and without the need to acknowledge origin.

It might be a good idea to state that contributed code in the wiki will fall under public domain. (if other developers agree)

Up to now, if we haven't written anything about it and you really need to very in details the licensing issue (which most likely isn't necessary), you can just check who the author is in the wiki history and contact him.
