<br><br>It depends on what is meant by "this code," I suppose. An email to the author for clarification would be a good idea. My narrow reading of it suggests that there is no compatibility problem (i.e. "this code" means "this code Diane provided" and does not extend to modifications made to it) but it would be good to check. Since it is not safe to assume one can just change the license on permissively licensed code itself , this would not seem to me to be *any* different than using ISC-licensed code.
