Thank you very much.  I really appreciate this.

Ahh, I think I misunderstood some of the RosettaCode documentation which had something along the lines of "Unless the code comes with a different license attached ..."

According to their Copyright page, it's advised to place license notices on your RosettaCode user page if you want to use something apart from the GNU FDL:

I've added a Ddoc comment to the Dgraph codebase to reflect the origins of the code and your kind license grant:
https://github.com/WebDrake/Dgraph/commit/315286b9717e3d078029d77d0972800cbbd7dc42

Let me know if there's anything about that you'd like tweaked.  I can also offer a link to your homepage, for example :-)
