Unclear licensing situation for code in csproj.template.php

Closed this issue · 2 comments

Function getGUID in csproj.template.php (also available here) is a copy of the code in this Stack Overflow post.

The author lists this external source, but that external source does not publish the code under any license (it only contains the copyright remark "GUID.us © 2019"). Thus, Stack Overflow's CC BY-SA license seems to be the only license that applies for that code snippet. However, the MIT license of this repository is not share-alike compatible with CC BY-SA (see this paper for details on the licensing situation around code on Stack Overflow).

@sbaltes , thank you very much for the feedback. We will replace the code soon.

Fixed in #216
