|Hello there,
REUSE (https://reuse.software/) is a standard that allows a project to=20
specify license and copyright information in a machine-readable format=20
(e.g. `reuse lint --json` tells you which file has which license and=20
which copyright notice).

The RFC for the use of REUSE in ArchLinux gives a nice overview:=20
https://rfc.archlinux.page/0052-reuse/

If I make the Http Server REUSE-compliant (i.e. add some comments, clean=
=20
up some other comments, add a REUSE.toml file), would someone here=20
(review and) merge such a Pull Request?

I have the same question for Tomcat and APR and APR-Utils, but they have=
=20
a separate mailing list.

Greetings

Volker Wei=C3=9Fmann
