Compatibility of MIT License and Artistic License

X-Post to wcelibcex-devel and passwordsafe-devel

Hi all,

I am currently in the process of porting Passwordsafe (which is under
Artistic License) to the PocketPC OS. I had to discover that MS didn't
implement a number standard C run-time functions, though they are
declared in the usual header files (time.h for instance).

After some googleing and surfing I found the wcelibcex project (which
stands under the MIT License) on Sourceforge which fills most severe
gaps in MS's implementation.

My question to both sides, in particular to the respective copyright
holders, is now whether both licenses are compatible.
Is it acceptable to distribute wcelibcex source code along with
Passwordsafe for PocketPC source code and to incorporate binaries of
wcelibcex into binary Passwordsafe releases?
In my understanding it is ok, but that shouldn't count here :-)

Both license texts can be found here:

http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php

Interested readers can find sources for both projects here:

<http://wcelibcex.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/wcelibcex/trunk/>

Regards,

Steffen
