I wanted something like this today as I was toggling between NUnit and MSTest. Sure, Assert.That( something, Is(0) ) is readable, but its not portable. Its NUnit only, and for this project, I can’t do that. I also like the english reading of IsZero() vs. Is(0)
I think I’ve stated before that any code on this blog (c) by me and licensed under the MIT/X11 License, but for certain bits of code, I see no point in that. So I’m going to start tagging code with CC0, Unlicense and/or WTFPL.
Or you could just public domain it, FWIW.
Oh, and btw- according a GPL guide I read somewhere (c) and the © symbol have no legal meaning. You have to actually say “copyright”. Also FWIW.
Effectively that is what those “licenses” do is public domain something. It turns out that there is no legal way to declare something in the public domain. You can’t just say “I release this into the public domain”. Further, in some nations there is something called “moral rights”, which also have no ability to be transferred.
