MiniD in SVN doesn't include any license notice. What license is it under?

(If you don't know or can't decide, my recommendations from strongest to weakest:
GNU GPL: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/licenses.html#GPL
New BSD: http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.php
MIT: http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php )

Or of course whatever you want ... so long as it's FOSS ^^

I'm 99? sure it'll be MIT or the like. I don't like "free" software licenses which restrict your use of the software as much as proprietary software does, though maybe that's more of a philosophical debate left to be discussed elsewhere. Making it MIT also means that NO ONE can complain about the license Wink

I'm fond of Artistic/2.0 but MIT is pretty good too.
