If possible, I am also interested in including code from this repo too: https://github.com/whoward69/Sims2Tools. Is there a chance I can get written permission to use code from Sims2Tools (with attribution, of course) it in my fork? |

Hello!
This PR adds a license and removes 3 words incompatible with GPLv2. I'm working on a fork of SimPE 0.77.69. I was unaware of rhiamom's work until just now actually, but I would like to keep working on my fork as I have linked it with the svn history. Alternative to this PR (if you don't prefer to merge it), I would just need written permission from you to include SimpePrimitiveWizards with with my fork.
SimPE is GPLv2 licensed, and this project links to it directly. SimPE 0.77.69 also includes SimpePrimitiveWizards, and I would like to keep SimpePrimitiveWizards in my fork if possible. I want to clear up a licensing detail, out of respect for your work.
Each source file in SimpePrimitiveWizards contains the header "Permission granted to use this code in any way, except to claim it as your own or sell it". GPLv2 code unfortunately cannot be used with code that has a sale restriction. To be clear, nobody is looking to sell your work, and I fully intend to keep full attribution of the code to you (as is required by GPLv2). It's just that if I don't get explicit permission to use your code with SimPE (GPLv2 licensed), I legally must remove SimpePrimitiveWizards from my fork.
Thank you for your hard work!
