open source – What are the legal considerations when forking a BSD-licensed project? – Software Engineering Stack Exchange

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/08/31

Someone pointed me to the answer of [Wayback/Archive] open source – What are the legal considerations when forking a BSD-licensed project? – Software Engineering Stack Exchange by [Wayback/Archive] Earlz (question by [Wayback/Archive] Thomas Owens):

The common thing I see to handle this is basically using some kind of version control and when a file is changed by a large amount, adding a copyright header.
For instance, in OpenBSD I believe they follow a convention like this:
--top of file--
[copyright header of recent "major" editor]

[copyright header of previous major editor]

[copyright header of creator]
(where copyright header is BSD license or whatever)
This handles the copyright issue for the most part. Basically anytime a major edit is done on a file, a copyright header will be added. Major is subjective, but usually involves more than trivial refactoring or porting.

Which meant that some copyrights had to be updated at [Wayback/Archive] Update copyrights · Issue #37 · jpluimers/fritzcap · GitHub

.NET/C#: Small command-line tool to query REST JSON results from a batch file.

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/08/29

Often the power is in the combinations of tools.

Read until the epilogue…

Prologue

In this case, I needed to be able to query the JSON results of calls to REST services from the command-line so I could process them in Batch files.

Since I could not find anything readily available, I originally Originally I opted for the PowerShell command-line scripting tool, as that ships with recent Windows versions and can re-use anything that .NET brings. But though [Wayback/Archive] .NET has built in JSON serialization support, there is [Wayback/Archive] no querying support in it.

Then I thought about Delphi, as it [Wayback/Archive] too has a built-in JSON parser, but even the well known [Wayback/Archive] JSON SuperObject library has no query support.

Back to .NET, which – like Delphi – has a well known and respected third party JSON library as well: [Wayback/Archive] NewtonSoft JSON aka JSON.net and that one [Wayback/Archive] does have support for querying JSON with the SelectToken function.

That’s the fundament of the rest of this article, with the potential to be used in a cross-platform as well.

So no need for a plan B.
