licensing - Legal issues when forking Lua? -
i've been developing highly modified version of lua (including rewrite of sources keep better maintainability). right i'm @ point consider forking lua, , possibly re-release under different name (so people don't mistake original lua interpreter).
of course resulting interpreter , compiler opensource (mit license, lua5.0). wonder if fine lua license? can use lua sources continue own work? have keep copyright notes?
my first suggestion send email lua folks. i'm 99,9% sure won't have problem.
now think it, guy create language called "idle" which, if remember well, heavily based on lua.
as long show due credits , represent differences lua, i'm sure you'll fine.
