Hello @TChatzigiannakis

At the time this fork was made the original repository was unlicensed, which is why I assume you added the MS-PL licence yourself, although that is not legal.

However, the original repository is now under the MIT licence (michaelnoonan#10) so it would be good if you could re-licence this repository to MIT and either licence your additions as MIT or MS-PL as you see fit.

Regards
John Cullen

Hi @john-cullen,
Thanks for the heads up!

At the time this fork was made, the NuGet package (which is also distributed by Michael Noonan) was given under the MS-PL license (and still is), presumably picked by the original author. I simply included the text of that license in the source code of the fork, to make it easier for people to find.

Now that the original repository is re-licensed, I will address this issue with my fork (or alternatively close the fork if development continues on the original repository).

@TChatzigiannakis Thank you for the swift reply, sorry if my original message sounded accusatory! I had not seen that the original nuget package included a licence.

@john-cullen No worries! When you brought it up, it took me a while to figure out where the MS-PL had come from (because it's not a license that I'd choose myself). It's possible that the original author has forgotten about it as well, after all these years.
