Reading the SVG specs, I see that there is a big chunk of C code in the feTurbulence filter effect spec. What is the copyright status of this piece of code? Is it public domain? After all, it is inside the specs, would them sue us if we copy&paste it? If we can use it let me know the conditions so that I can try to implement this filter more easily.
I've looked into that filter, and it seems that the code is under W3C Document Copyright Notice and License. It might also fall under W3C Software Copyright Notice and License, it's not too clear.
Well, anyhow: be warned. It is far from being good code. Actually, gcc won't even compile it as-is, because some parts of it are valid C but invalid C++ and some parts valid C++ but invalid C.
