Does the DCCs licence change affect URLBody?

0

To handle MIME decoding, URLBody uses some functions from version 1.1.16 of the Distributed Checksum Clearinghouse (DCC). This code was made available a couple of years ago, under the MIT Licence. I do not intend to change this code as it seems to do the job well enough. The DCC itself recently became non-free, however, the right to use the old code remains unaffected. URLBody does not make use of digital signatures to measure bulkiness and therefore does not fall within the patent which seems to have brought about the DCC’s licence change.
