[Twisted-Python] license / copyright questions about Twisted Perspective Broker client

Hi, After looking around for the last 6 months for an Actionscript 3 library that would work as a client for use with Twisted Perspective Broker , and hoping someone more skilled than myself would get around to creating one, I decided to get the ball rolling. It currently works as a client for the example here. http://twistedmatrix.com/projects/core/documentation/howto/pb-cred.html#auto... There is a long way to go. . . but it's a start. I aim to release the library under the same license as Twisted (MIT) but I'm wondering about some of the details. Since all I have done is just ported the original Twisted code from Python to Actionscript what does that mean in terms of copyright and credits ? Should I give credit in every file according to original author ? I still have most of the original doc strings in my version - am I allowed to use those ? There are also sections where I have the original python code commented out (as a guide to what still needs to done). I can't really be arsed to delete all that while it's still in heavy development. Is that a problem ? Would I have to put the credits for the code in each snippet ? I have created a Google code project and will get the code up there as soon as I have got the paperwork in order. Cheers, Al.

I don't feel like analyzing a work today to determine whether it is a derivative of Twisted, but if you think it is and you want to comply with being a derivative, all you need to do is include the Twisted copyright notice. -- Christopher Armstrong International Man of Twistery http://radix.twistedmatrix.com/ http://twistedmatrix.com/ http://canonical.com/
