[Scons-users] License of code posted on SCons GitHub wiki

Hi!

This wiki page has multiple code blocks on it proposing ways to work around an issue on Windows hosts: https://github.com/SCons/scons/wiki/LongCmdLinesOnWin32

I am having this problem in one of my projects and the posted code (latter block) plus some cleanup works for me. I’d like to heavily modify it and then adopt it in my project.

However, I don’t see a stated license on the wiki and it isn’t clear that the general project license (MIT) has been established as applying to the wiki.

Is there an agreed-upon license for this wiki content (specifically, code)? It seems to have been contributed to the wiki in whatever form it existed pre-2014, so I’m not sure in what context it was originally provided.

Do I need to manually contact those who are listed as authors to get permission for re-use if I am inclined to do so?

Thanks!

Kaelin
