@ChrisMcKee what is the origin of this code? What license is it released under?

@colemickens I suspect that this code comes from https://github.com/LogosBible/Logos.Utility/blob/master/src/Logos.Utility/GuidUtility.cs
(see @ChrisMcKee remarks)

@ChrisMcKee what is the origin of this code? What license is it released under?

It's in the remarks in the code and the comment above but it was and still is MIT based on the licence in the Logos Util lib. I updated it to work properly with netcore 1.1 at the time
