I'm sort of one, too, though I've contributed nearly nothing to the project except vague suggestions and complaints. (Jason, OTOH, has contributed mountains of code.) >>> I'm not open to picking up more TODOs at this point, but I'd like to state >>> that KOffice has an interrest in using the license to allow users to >>> select the license for a document or show details from an existing doc. >> >> Same for KNewStuff which so far only provides meaningless strings such >> as "GPL". >> The screenshots of liblicence however imply that it would make it hard to >> select GPL, for example. > > That particular interface is tuned for content licenses (not source code > licenses).

One idea is to have a selector for the type of work as a radio button or drop-down right at the top. The liblicense API could let the library user specify which sort of license to offer by default, and/or if to offer the choice at all (then KDevelop could use liblicense and only show code licenses and not let users select CC by-nc-sa). Just a thought. -- Asheesh. -- Life is the urge to ecstasy. _______________________________________________ cc-devel mailing list cc-devel@lists.ibiblio.org http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/cc-devel
