Is the Codeplex project allowed for the Github account?

Question

I was thinking of creating a fork on the GitHub project of the HtmlAgilityPack project (which is hosted on Codeplex), but I don’t know, I know that I am violating some legal rights.

Is it possible?

RENOUNCEMENT

I'm not a lawyer, it's more a guess based on observations from the license text.

They seem to be using the Microsoft Public License.

You are allowed to fork, post and modify the code if you wish.

You need to keep the same license.

You must keep copyright. This means that you can’t just say that you wrote this software initially, you need to save the loan, in which there should be a loan.

Check your license for more information:
