Licensing: Request to make a fork

[Perksey]

Hi there! You haven't responded to any of my emails but I'd like to request an exemption from the No Derivatives clause of the license.

We're currently seekign to create a set of tutorials for Silk.NET - a free and open-source binding to OpenGL for C#, F#, and other .NET languages. But your license currently blocks this.

Please reply with an email address I can contact, as clearly [email protected] isn't reliable.

What No Derivatives clause are you referring to?

Hmm... I wonder if you could use the tutorials verbatim, and add the code in other languages in some way that would make your set of tutorials a "Collection" containing this set of tutorials and the code for other languages... (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/legalcode)

It appears that @Calvin1602 / @opengl-tutorial / @opengl-tutorials is currently inactive, with @Calvin1602's last activity occuring January 2019. I guess you could tweeting at @GraphicsTut and/or @Calvin1602, but those also seem to be inactive...

Hmmm @opengl-tutorial commented on an issue 3 days ago... I just hope they see this in their email as I'd love to get these tutorials in the works asap.
