Hi!

I can’t seem to find any licensing information for the login\_engine  
plugin.  
I notice that the engines plugin is covered by the MIT license (and  
includes a file called MIT-LICENSE), so I’m assuming that the  
login\_engine is, too…

Is that true?

Thanks!!

Haig

Glad to hear it… I’d be happy to submit a patch to include the license  
file and the copyright at the top of the .rb files. Any interest?

If so, who does the copyright belong to?

Technically, the copyright belongs to me (James A.), though the code  
was heavily based on the original salted\_hash\_login\_generator (by  
Tobias L. I believe) and has benefitted from numerous patches from  
the Rails community.

The next (and likely final, more about that later) version of the  
login engine will include this information.
