Attribution menu command

[csware]

You use base64.c which is 3-clause BSD licensed. Here you are required to proper attribute credits to the author in source AND binary redistribution. In source you have the license file, but attribution is missing the in binary distribution.

As you can see there is no attribution for the base64 authors (cf. https://github.com/ProgerXP/Notepad2e/blob/master/src/Extension/base64-license.txt).

@csware
My bad, I didn't notice you were talking about base64.c. Good catch.

@cshnik After finishing more important tasks I'll assign you to this one.

1. Add new menu command below ? > About... named 3rd Party Code... (no hotkey).
2. Let it display a modal dialog with an icon, a readonly textarea and OK button (layout similar to About except that labels are replaced by the textarea).
3. Use this text (replace license blocks with text file contents):

== base64 ==
http://web.mit.edu/freebsd/head/contrib/wpa/src/utils/

<copy text of src/Extension/base64-license.txt below>
Copyright (c) ...
...
...POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.

== tinyexpr ==
https://codeplea.com/tinyexpr

<copy text of src/Extension/tinyexpr/LICENSE.md below>

4. Move base64* files into their own folder (like with tinyexpr) since it's not our own code.

By the way, where did you get the license file? I don't see one at http://web.mit.edu/freebsd/head/contrib/wpa/src/utils/

Base64 license text file was composed from general copying notice and license text for wpa_supplicant and hostapd: http://web.mit.edu/freebsd/head/contrib/wpa/

?> "3rd Party Code..." dialog implemented.

 IDR_ABOUT_3RD_PARTY     RTF                     "C:\\Work\\git\\Notepad2e\\res\\About3rdParty.rtf" 

    src\Notepad2.rc(1339, 0): error RC2135: file not found: C:\Work\git\Notepad2e\res\About3rdParty.rtf

What's that?

[cshnik]

What's that?

Rich text file which is displayed in the read only edit (actually richedit, XP compatible) placed on newly implemented dialog (includes all required data related to 3rd parties: links, text).

But why is it using an absolute path on your system?
