In Eclipse 4diac we have a library of model elements and application
examples to help our users getting started with 4diac. The models are
stored in a dedicated XML format. This would allow to just add the
classic Eclipse copyright header as XML comment.
The problem that I now see is that when the model is loaded in 4diac
and stored again this header is currently not preserved. So using that
approach for the copyright header is quite cumbersome. Adding code to
handle this would be quite challenging I think.
The model we are using has dedicated fields for comments, which are
intended for describing the model and also a version entry. These
could be used to add copyright notices. Especially the latter seams
suitable.
Is there a best practice for such a use case? What are experiences of
other projects?
Alois,
Probably not the answer that you are looking for, but are you aware that
you are allowed to license your build scripts and examples under the BSD
(also known as the Eclipse Distribution License 1.0) without requiring
any further approvals? I would consider that a best practice, as it
makes it clear that your examples could be used as the starting point
for a product or application without any copyleft implications from the EPL.
