taken from the license:I was trying to convey that the word "should" has different meanings. It can be interpreted as a recommendation or alternatively as an obligation. For example,1) One should brush one's teeth. Otherwise, you'll get bad teeth. However, not brushing your teeth does not make you a bad citizen. 2) One should be respectful of others. Being disrespectful or violent makes you a bad citizen. In 1) SHOULD is a recommendation whereas in 2) SHOULD really means MUST. Thus, in the sentence, "we should use include the license in each file," does SHOULD mean MUST or is it just a recommendation?You are free to take my word for it, or if you deem it necessary, go ask directly and eventually report back.
Michael A. Smith actually went to the board a few weeks ago. I did not see a closure. As long as an ASF official (board, PMC) does not officially take a position on this, or until there is an official document on this topic, one should not make absolute affirmations.My words: "Currently we should use the full version."
Should or must? :-)
