Package @command{btcec} was originally based on work from +ThePiachu which is licensed under the same terms as Go, but it has +signficantly diverged since then. The @command{btcsuite} developers original +is licensed under the liberal ISC license. + +Although this package was primarily written for btcd, it has intentionally +been designed so it can be used as a standalone package for any projects +needing to use secp256k1 elliptic curve cryptography.") + (license license:isc)))) |
