The problem is, it is copyrighted (but source is available). The next problem ist, I will have to apply three small changes to the source code (rename "radixsort" to "radix_sort" in two files). Would that already be a problem since it is a change to copyrighted code? Do I have to ask author's permission to integreate the program at all when source is freely available (from different sites and without regestration).
