licensing - 代码从一种语言移植到另一种语言 - 许可

Question

我将一些代码从 C 移植到 C#，并且还在移植的代码中添加了一些新功能。原始代码受 MPL 许可。

这是原始源代码许可条款:

我可以通过这种方式更改移植代码的许可证并包含原始源代码的原始源代码许可条款吗:

移植一些代码就是翻译一些代码(与翻译别人的书相比)，因此受版权保护。您正在创作衍生作品。

顺便说一句。永远不要更改作者署名和版权说明。这是不行的，你这样做是在合法地自找麻烦。因此，请逐字复制原始声明，不要削弱它。

此外，您通常不能将文件置于类似 MIT 的许可证下，因为文件的一部分位于 MPL AFAIK 下，但位于 IANAL JASD 下。

为什么不直接在 MPL 下许可该文件？这可能是人们能给你的最好建议。对于其他一切，您应该直接去找您的律师。

如果您真的想将您的作品的那部分置于您的许可之下，您必须非常明显地显示您的作品在哪里以及原始作品在哪里。

我发现移植/翻译很难使其可见，并且我怀疑这是可能的。

这只是技术上的，因为即使您能够这样做，这也没有说明许可证兼容性。当然，您还需要具有许可证兼容性。

因此，由于这两个原因，您确实应该考虑在与 MPL 具有 copyleft 相同的许可证下发布它。 .
