Hey all, Since I'm working on getting licensing status into good shape for a number of libraries (both existing ones and a number of new ones that I'm working on), I'm hoping that we can agree on a good way to do this so that we're consistent from project to project. Ideally, this will also have tool support in the future. OpenDylan itself has 3 lines in the header of every Dylan file: * Copyright * License: Pointer to License.txt. * Warranty In a number of things, I've just been putting a single line in each Dylan file: * Copyright: Pointer to the license file. In a typical library, I'd like to just maintain the copyright and license in a single file rather than each. Honestly, I don't recall what the legal best practice is in this area (are per-file copyrights ever required?). In the future, I want some licensing metadata in the LID file for use by tools, but I don't think we're there yet. Anyone have opinions on this, strong or otherwise? - Bruce _______________________________________________ hackers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opendylan.org/mailman/listinfo/hackers
