I recently found a repository on GitHub that I found quite interesting. I wanted to modify and use it in my project; however, the code is unlicensed. I proceeded to email the owner of the repository about it asking whether or not it was okay for me to use the code, and he gave me his permission to do so. Here is the conversation:
My email:
Hi there! My name is Maraudery, I recently stumbled upon your repository, Sherlock, that happens to be implemented in Go. Recently I've been working on a program named GoSeek. It is an Open-Source Intelligence apparatus, basically an all-in-one OSINT tool/library. I noticed your repository isn't licensed so I thought I'd ask, how would you feel about me using the code, tweaking it a bit, and integrating it into GoSeek? Absolutely no pressure, I just thought I'd ask. If you are interested, check it out: https://github.com/maraudery/goseek and feel free to email me back. :)`
Their reply:
Hi Maraudery, You can change and use sherlock, feel free. Thanks for reaching 🤗
I just wanted to come here to make sure that I am not missing anything and I am able to proceed without suffering any consequences.Thank you for your time!
