Comment (by alwayslivid):

 I spent a while studying the source code of gettor, and after attempting
 to build a bot directly on top of gettor would seem difficult, due to the
 fact that certain functions that the whole program depends on (e.g.
 `get_new()`) would simply not fit together with the design of an
 interactive bot that responds immediately to all queries.

 So, I'm moving on with the idea of creating another bot and then making
 use of snippets that are mostly in the upload folder, in order to handle
 uploading in a way that could also be more easily backported to the
 upstream version of gettor in the long term (... in case that does
 happen).

 Here's the issue I'm currently dealing with; I initially used the GNU GPL
 v3 license for my own code, but since I wanted to adapt certain pieces of
 source code from gettor, I think that changing the license to one that's
 more similar to the one that gettor has should be enough. I tried to reach
 out and ask about that in the IRC and got no response, so I'm just leaving
 this here in the case that any issues could potentially arise from the
 decision that I made.
