Is the old Quanta library around somewhere? There's probably some stuff of mine in there.

Dilwyn, thanks for generating the list.

EM01 Microemacs was a port of Daniel Lawrence's editor. The upstream licence seems to be "at-cost/non-commercial distribution only"; see http://www.aquest.com/emacs.pdf. I believe this would be consistent with putting it up on an open website. I consider my contributions to be licensed equivalently to the rest of the code.

UG09 The Jargon File was just a copy of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jargon_File. Not really 'mine' in any meaningful sense and readily available online anyway. I guess Magna is just Magna Carta, also readily available online.

UG06 Archiver and UG11 Zip/unzip could be a ports of something else or could be original to me; I was interested in compression at the time but that included both porting existing works and rolling my own. I'm afraid I wouldn't know for sure without a look.

The rest I expect are original to me. I'd prefer to have a look before making a completely definitive statement on licences but let's say provisionally say 'GPL3 or any later version'.

Please either forward this message to anyone with an interest, or tell me an email address and I'll contact them directly - whichever is easier.

I've notified the Quanta librarian about licensing changes.
