Yes, the code is effectively in the public domain currently under the CodeProject Open License (<a href="http://www.codeproject.com/info/cpol10.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.codeproject.com/info/cpol10.aspx</a>).</p> <p>I have no problems with this being included in the CodePlex project, and if you want to add me to the project (username is sdorman) I will add that method plus some additional enum helper methods.</p> </blockquote>
