Possible to release AesGcm code under MIT

ngarside opened this issue 4 years ago · comments

I'm trying to use aesgcm on android and found this repo from this thread on xamarin support. Unfortunately my project isn't compatible with the GPL. Would you be willing to release specifically the aesgcm code under an alternative license (e.g. MIT or BSD)? I totally understand if not.

Actually I did intend to extract it and release it under MIT after I got it working.

I'll work on doing that this weekend.

Long term I'd rather have mono implement it, can you add your support to mono/mono#19285 so they will realise that people want it.

I'll reply to this with a link once I've created a new MIT licensed lib for it.

I've made a start here: https://github.com/trampster/Ropu.AesGcm
Will test with Ropu tomorrow, and if all goes well you can try it out yourself.

I've tested this on Android 10, all seems to work fine. Thanks for releasing it 👍

Ropu.AesGcm has been published to nuget and Ropu has been updated to use it. I've tested it and it appears to work.

Thanks for giving me the push to do this.
