Comment: This code is, as the author describes, an unfinished work, and
so the copyright attribution is somewhat loose. However the author
has asserted fairly strongly in the email in the License section that
the license can be chosen from a broad list, and since the rest of the
project is MIT/Expat, this seems to be the logical choice.

Should I ever get around to making another transtab release (an old,
unfinished project), I'll try to remember to add the following license
text somewhere:
.
Markus Kuhn <http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/> -- yyyy-mm-dd
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/short-license.html
.
Executive summary: I promise not to sue you.
.
Hope this helped ...

Markus

Short code license
.
If you have reached this web page because you found its URL included as a
license-reference comment in a short piece of published computer software
source code by its author(s), next to their name, as in, for example,
.
Markus Kuhn <http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/> -- 1999-12-31
License: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/short-license.html
.
then you can assume the following:
.
This code was published by its author(s) as an easily reusable piece of free
software, for example to demonstrate some particular programming practice. It
is likely too short or obvious to skilled programmers to fall under, or
deserve, the protection of copyright legislation. It is also likely to be
useless on its own, unless verified and integrated into a larger program by an
experienced software engineer, and therefore no consumer protection, warranty
or liability rights apply either. Therefore, its author(s) refused to disfigure
its appearance with a lengthy copyright license text.
.
Nevertheless, overly cautious lawyers (possibly as part of a “due diligence
exercise”) occasionally contact authors of such short code snippets for a
formal copyright license.
.
Therefore, the author(s) agree(s) to clarify that, at the user’s choice, the
code can be used under any of the following licenses, or any compatible with
them:
.
• Apache License, 2.0
• BSD license
• GNU General Public License (GPL)
• GNU Library or "Lesser" General Public License (LGPL)
• MIT license
• Mozilla Public License 1.1 (MPL)
• Common Development and Distribution License
• Eclipse Public License
