<oriansj>( I may be looking into 8bit ROM creation for inspiration )
<pabs3>Tiny C Compiler is relicensing to MIT https://repo.or.cz/tinycc.git/blob/3d963aebcd533da278f086a3e559d24b961e8c31:/RELICENSING https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41763624
<oriansj>pabs3: probably trying to go the clang route of getting corporate support (unlikely and honestly would probably result in a total rewrite as the TCC source code is an absolute tangled mess)
<lanodan>Kind of doubt it would require much of a rewrite given how that file is 10+ years old and Fabrice Bellard agrees on relicensing his code: https://repo.or.cz/tinycc.git/history/3d963aebcd533da278f086a3e559d24b961e8c31:/RELICENSING
<lanodan>That said the mob thing makes me wonder if it could ever be relicensed
<oriansj>lanodan: the rewrite comment was not about copyright but about the level of clarity in the existing code (which is a rat's nest of accumulation)
