Could you possibly remove the MIT comment on the code for RC to show that the RC version complies with the RC guidelines? --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] ([[User talk:Paddy3118|talk]]) 19:13, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

:The code was placed under the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIT_License MIT/X11 licence] on purpose because I feel that the GFDL version 1.2 (which is very restrictive - more than the GPL and that some people have felt is not a truly free licence) is unacceptable for code portions which should be reusable as much as possible, and I think it heavily detracts from the utility of Rosetta Code (whose licence should have been better chosen). The MIT/X11 licence allows for sub-licensing and according to http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html it is compatible with the GPL, so it should be OK, but just in case, I am going to relicense the code snippet under a multiple MIT/X11/Public Domain/GPL/GFDL licence in order to please as many people as possible.
