May I get your source code with MIT license ?

I found your Project very useful for generating PDF reports.

I requested for project review to our open source review board, but they suggested if the license is MIT or similar then we can use, but we cannot use a project with Code Project Open License.

We are not selling our software, it is only for internal Testing Reports, if you can provide us your project with a different License (preferably MIT or similar), that would be really grateful. We will be using your DLL in our project and will call some methods from your DLL to generate reports.

Hoping to hear from you!!!!!

Thanks

What I have tried:

I have tried with other projects also but I found your project more useful.

Don't post this under Quick Answers - if you got the code from an article, then there is a "Add a Comment or Question" button at the bottom of that article, which causes an email to be sent to the author. They are then alerted that you wish to speak to them.
Posting this here relies on them "dropping by" and realising it is for them.

As suggested by OriginalGriff, you should ask the author using the article's forum.

But changing the license of an article upon a single request might not happen.

I suggest to ask your "open source review board" why you can't use CPOL licensed code in an internal project. There is nothing in the license that forbids it. If there is a well-grounded reason it might be helpful to tell here to be taken into account for futur CPOL revisions.
