Topic: Can I borrow some of your code? :D

Hello, I am building a insanely fast blog system and I wanted to know if I am allowed to use a modified version of punBB's "parse_comment" and "split_text" functions.

You see, I will be releasing this system free as GPL or CC and I don't mind giving full credit to anyone (or everyone) who wrote those functions. I don't need any other part of punBB (until after the system is released and I figure out how I can merge the blog system with punbb) but before do anything I want to make sure that it is alright. smile

So can anyone help me with this? Thanks!

It's fine as long as you release your system under the GPL wink

Ok then I guess the system will have to be GPL wink

But who wrote those functions? - because I can't give credit.

And SuperMAG - I can't give a URL yet because the system is still being built - but I hope to have a beta by the end of the month!

So far, on a server about 80% used it takes about 0.01 seconds to render an average blog post with 10 comments containing code, links, etc... - without being optimized or with the caching system still unbuilt.

split_words looks to be based off of some of phpBB's code, parse_message I would assume is Rickard's doing. wink
