License of Ruby Port

[philomory]

Aloha,

I've just finished porting as3delaunay to ruby; I can't find any information online as to whether a language port counts as 'derivative work' or a 'substantial copy' of the original, which would affect how I list your copyright and my own in the license file. Would something along the following lines be acceptable?

Original Copyright (c) 2009 Alan Shaw
Ruby Translation Copyright (c) 2013 Adam Gardner

I intend to keep the MIT license, and put it up online as soon as I've made a few tweaks and tests.

(I noticed that there's a haXe port already online, but that one is missing licensing information entirely as far as I can tell, so it wasn't much help).

Hi!
Sure, that's fine with me, and please send me a link to your version.
There is now a C++ port as well; I'd like to mention both on the project
page.

The 'original' of course is Fortune's C version from which I ported...
