presumably melony already knew that because ngspice is mostly licensed under a 3-clause bsd license which says

unless you're violating the ngspice license? or the documentation and/or other materials are just hard to find?

parts of ngspice are also licensed under gplv2, cc-by-sa-4.0, lgpl-2.1+, or gpl2+, but maybe you aren't using those parts



Melony is not that pedantic and melony does not ask questions whose answers melony already know. Melony has better things to do than to hound SaaS services over alleged license violations (unlike a certain somebody).


perhaps if melony didn't know that, it is evidence that the required credit is, in effect, not being given; that the authors of this software are, in effect, passing off the work of the ngspice contributors as their own
