[edit] Adler-16

Adler-16 - does it exist? does anyone use it? User:Ojw

[edit] Merge with Fletcher's checksum?

Maybe this should be merged with Fletcher's checksum? All that differs is one operation; the demonstration and discussion about performance is relevant for both. Duplicating the information would be unnecessary. Fredrik | talk 20:18, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)

There's a larger difference in that Fletcher-32 accumulates 16 bits at a time, while Adler-32 accumulates 8 bits at a time. They are still very similar, though. User:68.205.112.194

Aren't you confusing it with Adler-16? Fredrik | talk 15:38, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Example code license

Perhaps this is adequately covered elsewhere in the 'pedia, but this is the page that inspires the question for me. What's the license on the example code? I'm not entirely clear how the GFDL applies to code contained within. Is it similar to the GPL? -- Ventura 16:55, 2005 May 12 (UTC)

Wikipedia says: "When an author contributes original material to the project, the copyright over it is retained with them, but they agree to make the work available under the GFDL... all text is available under the GFDL"

Information about the license is available at its own page, or at GNU.org Ojw 17:07, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

Yes, it would be most convenient for me if the [| original author] would specifically say "this implementation public domain".

I'm going to ask at Wikipedia talk:Copyright FAQ. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.0.120.35 (talk) 18:19, 27 January 2007 (UTC).
