maintenance, fork/copies

[ldemailly]

hi @mwitkow sorry to bug you.

I was curious if I could get your permission to take some/most of the go-flagz code and integrate it into a slightly different format (for instance using std go flags pattern and naming, a different logging/error handling etc...) probably as a new package in fortio (https://github.com/fortio/fortio) obviously I would preserve your name in the credits and copyright header but curious to get your blessing or hear objections? (do you plan on maintaining go-flagz further? is improbable-io going to?)

ps: if you want we can talk via email or twitter or linked in if that feels better

Hi Laurent, Thanks for reaching out. I'm not actively supporting the codebase (I sadly rarely code these days) and I don't think Improbable is either. If you find it useful feel free to reuse it in whatever fashion the existing license permits Thanks Michal

Thank you for the reply, appreciated! will do and keep the Apache-2.0 license and your initial copyright and credit.

here is the outcome:
https://github.com/fortio/fortio/tree/master/dflag
(trimmed down features like etcd etc that I don't need and added unnecessary dependencies, also etcd support was broken with new etcd version)

hope it's ok

I rewrote most of the code using generics and made additional improvements, also just moved it to a standalone package with minimal dependencies:
