Hi Stijn,

can you please tell me more specifically what triggered your question?
- the license
- courtesy to the guy who developed it
- advices from the developers on why to do it
- green light from the management

Cheers,
Nicolas

Hi,

During the development of the password encryption for the service.properties file for the SSHTELNET MP, I needed an implementation of the Base64 encoding. I found a link on google where it states:

"There are a lot of BASE64 encoding/decoding implementations in Java. For example, you may use my own implementation Base64.java." (http://www.izhuk.com/painter/product/doc/base64.htm).

I used this code in my implementation of the password encryption. Is this allowed? Or do I need to explicity ask him if I can use it? Or implement a Base64 encoding myself (although I feel this might be a bit of a waste of time)?

Regards,

Stijn
